I'm Oprah Winfrey. Welcome to Super Soul Conversations, the podcast. I believe that one of the most

valuable gifts you can give yourself is time. Taking time to be more fully present. Your journey

to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now.

When Eat, Pray, Love was first published, Elizabeth appeared on The Oprah Show to talk about how

her book had sparked a revolution and stirred something up for millions of women.

Little did Elizabeth know the next leg of her own journey was just beginning. She married

the Brazilian man that readers fell in love with in the book, whose real name is Jose. Making peace

with this idea of being married again was not easy. She documented that soul-turning

process in her follow-up book, committed. After eight years of writing about her own life,

Elizabeth returned to her roots, fiction writing. In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth created

a passionate, independent-thinking heroine, not unlike herself, Alma Whitaker. This daring novel about a 19th century botanist quickly attracted,

excited readers and accolades from critics. In the fall of 2014, I was thrilled to have Elizabeth

join me on the life you want to her. Thousands of women cheer when they hear her urgent message.

You can take the lead and be the hero of your

own story. On stage or with her beautiful writing, Elizabeth aims to inspire the phenomenal success

of Eat, Pray, Love, was just a hint of what was to come. So you know her as the author of each prey, love, so many people do, and her memoir sold more

Yeah. And the story has just reached into almost every corner of the world where women have access to reading and touch women's lives.
