I read Eat, Pray, Love too, and I absolutely adore the book. However, your points were not lost to me when I was reading it -- I thought the exact same things about privilege and how lucky the author must be to be able to just drop a year out of nowhere and live off of her savings. Still, though, I believe that spirituality can be appreciated among everyone, and these same experiences can be found even among the poor or the unprivileged. The meaning behind her journey was beautiful, regardless of how or what means she got there with.
