Eat, pray, love and get creative.
Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of "Eat Pray Love" is taking on creativity these days.
"Eat Pray Love" has sold more than 13 million copies. It inspired a movement. It also, depending on who you ask, inspired a lot of divorces.
Julia Roberts starred in the movie adaptation in 2010.
Gilbert's memoir tells the story of how she rediscovered who she is and who she wants to be on a solo trip around the world following a divorce.
More than 15 years later, the story is reaching a new generation of readers but its core message hasn't changed.
"I always think, as women, we forget that we belong to ourselves. I think 'Eat Pray Love' was this giant celebration of that. I think that book is a giant permission slip that reminds women to change their lives, leave their lives, and most of all remember their lives belong to them," says Gilbert.
"Eat Pray Love" is Gilbert's biggest book. But she's a prolific writer.
Gilbert is the author of seven books of fiction and nonfiction. Her book, "Big Magic," offers advice on how to cultivate creativity. It offers ways to get unstuck if you're feeling mentally blocked.
