Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of ten books of fiction and nonfiction — most famously her 2006 memoir EAT PRAY LOVE, which chronicled the year she spent traveling the world after a shattering divorce, and BIG MAGIC: Creative Living Beyond Fear, which encourages people to lead braver, more authentic lives, and to recapture our inherent creativity. Her first TED talk, “Your Elusive Creative Genius,” was delivered in 2009 and remains among the most popular talks in TED’s history, with 22 million views.
She is the founder of both Letters From Love (which you’re reading!) and the Onward Book Club, a space created to promote and celebrate the work of Black female authors with live conversations on Instagram.
She is a lifelong traveler and spiritual seeker. More than anything else, she just wants everyone to have a nice time.
