INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
“Rarely have I read a book that challenged me to see myself in an entirely new light, and was at the same time laugh-out-loud funny and utterly absorbing.”—Katie Couric
“This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book.”—Arianna Huffington, Founder, Huffington Post and Founder & CEO, Thrive Global
“Wise, warm, smart, and funny. You must read this book.”—Susan Cain, New York Times best-selling author of Quiet
From a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and national advice columnist, comes a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new psychotherapist memoir that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist’s world—where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she).
One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis of love and loss causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.
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 on her own path of self-discovery.
With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world of psychology as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.
One of the most compelling personal memoirs of our time, 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.
This unforgettable memoir is a guide to the perplexing mysteries of being human, revealing:
- A Therapist Goes to Therapy: When a crisis sends psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb’s world crashing down, she lands on the couch of a quirky therapist named Wendell and discovers she has just as much to learn as her patients.
- Behind the Scenes of Therapy: Step into the therapy room and meet a cast of unforgettable patients—from a self-absorbed Hollywood producer to a young newlywed facing a terminal illness—who are all searching for answers.
- Profound Human Connection: Explore the universal truths and fictions we tell ourselves about love, desire, meaning, and mortality in this deeply personal tour of our hearts and minds.
- Funny and Heartwarming Storytelling: Discover a book that is at once laugh-out-loud funny and profoundly moving, a rare portrait of what it means to be human and our power to change.
