Therapist and New York Times best-selling author Lori Gottlieb takes us on an eye-opening and wildly entertaining ride, as she invites us to sit alongside her on both sides of the therapist's couch. Her new book takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world--where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she).
As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.
What a great book this is!! Full of insights and tidbits and life lessons to take away. Really well written, compassionate and non judgemental. Very interesting also to see Lori as a therapist and as a patient. Can’t recommend this book enough!
