15 Books to Help Solve 15 Life Problems

For anyone who is feeling lost in her life:
After a scorching divorce, Elizabeth Gilbert set out on a yearlong trip through Italy, India and Indonesia. Culinary delights, rigorous spiritual searching and exhilarating romance were all in store. The details were delicious, but it's the insights in Gilbert's 2006 book that have held on for more than a decade. For instance: "People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants," she writes. "But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention."
