À propos de cet audio
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK
"A delicious mashup of narrative that's by turns harrowing and healing." –People
“Entertaining, insightful, wrenching … punch-to-the-gut powerful.” –The Washington Post
“A blockbuster: brutally honest, lurid, transcendent, and compelling…Gilbert is undoubtedly a force.” —Boston Globe
In her first nonfiction book in a decade, the #1 bestselling writer who taught millions of readers and listeners to live authentically (Eat Pray Love) and creatively (Big Magic) shows how to break free.
In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert met Rayya. They became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. They were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe.
What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening?
All the Way to the River is a landmark memoir that will resonate with anyone who has ever been captive to love—or to any other passion, substance, or craving—and who yearns, at long last, for liberation.

“Inspiring account…Gilbert achieves her signature intimacy through a bluntly confessional tone… and an admirable ability to stare darkness in the face without losing hope. Readers struggling with addiction or seeking a path through heartbreak will find invaluable wisdom in these pages.” – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Gilbert rips open her life to share all the painful moments and grief … in a story of despair and courage that … must have been unimaginable to write… Fans of her more lighthearted memoir and novels may be shocked by this book’s intensity, but it’s a brave story with an ultimately hopeful outcome. Anyone who has faced addiction—or loved someone who has—will recognize and be moved by Gilbert’s journey.” – Booklist, Starred Review
“The author of the world’s most famous memoir returns to the form to tell the story of a great love….A worthy addition to the literature of addiction and recovery, charming and harrowing by turns.” – Kirkus
“A loving tribute to Elias, an unfiltered descent into substance abuse, and an intimate look at Gilbert’s hard fought road to recovery.” – TIME
Editorial Review
Elizabeth Gilbert's writing is both tender and gutting at the same time. She is a brave swimmer of the well of emotions that makes us who we are.
In sum, she is an excellent writer, that dog shit book "Eat Pray Love" not withstanding. With this book, all is now forgiven.
I thank her for this memoir and map towards true freedom that will help many people come to their lovesick senses.
Lastly, I am taking one point off for performance because I sometimes tired of the sound of the strumming guitar.
This book makes "Eat Pray Love" Forgiveable

What better way for the universe to show us what we’re made of than to push us straight into the very things that scare us most? That’s what Elizabeth Gilbert’s All the Way to the River felt like to me — a reminder that our deepest fears are not barriers, but invitations.
Gilbert writes with such honesty and rawness that you can’t help but see your own reflection in her words. The book doesn’t offer easy comfort; instead, it urges us to walk through the fire and trust that transformation happens there. We are not victims of life’s hardships — we are shaped by them, strengthened by them, made braver and truer in their wake.
For me, the great gift of this book is the reframing: fear is not the enemy. Fear is the doorway. When we step through, we discover the very growth we’ve been longing for. Gilbert reminds us that life is a kind of theater, and we are the leading characters — learning our lines as we go, improvising, stumbling, and yet somehow becoming.
All the Way to the River is more than memoir; it’s a guide, a mirror, a challenge. It asks us to see our struggles as blessings in disguise, the universe’s way of nudging us closer to our truest selves.

As someone who's struggled with codependence, I learned quite a bit by reading this book and hearing Liz's explanations of how codependence develops and the needs it fills. Her recovery is also inspiring. But I think some readers might find this a bit much overall.
I'm glad I read this book.
Unsparing, unflinching, and at times, meandering
