The aim of the article is to analyze the concept of self-discovery and personal transformation as portrayed in the novel eat pray love by Elizabeth Gilbert. The study also focuses on the protagonist's journey of self-exploration across three distinct geographical and cultural landscapes. Through Gilbert's narrative, themes of self-discovery, healing, and cultural immersion emerge as central motifs. Her encounters with various individuals and traditions offer profound insights into the complexities of human existence and the universal quest for meaning and fulfillment. Kierkegaard, Danish theologian and philosopher, argues that individuals must actively seek meaning and purpose in their lives through subjective engagement. Gilbert experiences a sense of existential despair and dissatisfaction in her life, leading her to question her marriage and conventional choices. Her journey becomes a way to confront and navigate this existential, seeking meaning beyond societal norms. Gilbert’s journey is a deliberate and conscious pursuit of meaning. By navigating the enigma of self-discovery, Gilbert invites readers to embark on their own journey of introspection and self-awareness, reminding them that true fulfillment lies not in external validation but in the profound connection with their innermost selves.
