Author Elizabeth Gilbert didn’t hold back in her visit to our headquarters, where she unpacked the wrenching life experiences that shaped her new memoir, All the Way to the River. From falling for her dear friend, to recognizing addiction in all its forms, to finally understanding that we’re all students in one big Earth School.
