All the things that I had enjoyed in Eat Pray Love shone through when I watched Gilbert talk – namely, her humor, her thoughtfulness, her ability to combine the personal with the profound, and her ability to move people with her words. Learning that one of Gilbert’s GQ articles provided the basis for the movie “Coyote Ugly” (per Gilbert’s TED.com profile) was an additional perk. And that she had met her (ex)husband while working at the original Coyote Ugly Saloon? Mind sufficiently blown!
