Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert appeared at the Atlanta stop for Oprah Winfrey’s The Life You Want Weekend. Gilbert revealed on Facebook that she gave a presentation urging attendees to be “the hero of your own life’s story.”
During a Q&A with Winfrey and other guest speakers, Gilbert offered some “really weird” advice on passion. For those who do not have a defined passion, Gilbert thinks it would be best to “follow your curiosity” because “it might lead you to your passion or it might not.”

Not too long ago, we spoke with Gilbert and picked her brain for writing advice. Earlier this year, she gave a talk on the TED stage about continuing to follow her passion for writing after experiencing both great failure and tremendous success. What do you think?
