This is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Everybody, how we doing. Today we've got a conversation with an extremely well known person. I was gonna get bracingly raw and candid in describing how she learned to change the way she talks to herself and to re regulate her nervous system. You know Elizabeth Gilbert, she wrote Epre Love, the memoir that sold more than fifteen million copies and became a movie starring Julia Roberts. Liz is also a very well regarded novelist, a TED talker, a popular substacker, and more.

In this conversation, we really go there. She talks about addiction, love, death, grief, forgiveness, recovery, money, the concept of home, and how she conceives of God. She's got a new memoir. It's called All the Way to the River and it's about her Often incredibly tumultuous relationship with her partner, Raya Elias. Who died not long ago.

Right now the memoir which hits shelves this week is getting a lot of press, some of it quite critical. Among other things, some people are really keying in on how dark things got between Elizabeth and Rea. We do touch on that in this episode, but that's not really the primary focus. Instead as always my goal is to help. bring you the most practical takeaways from Liz's experiences.
