Overview

Meet Lori Gottlieb, an insightful and compassionate therapist whose clients present with all kinds of problems. There’s the struggling new parents; the older woman who feels she has nothing to live for; the self-destructive young alcoholic; and the terminally ill 35-year-old newlywed. And there’s John, a narcissistic television producer, who frankly just seems to be a bit of a jerk. Over the course of a year, they all make progress. But Gottlieb is not just a therapist – she’s also a patient who's on a journey of her own. Interspersed with the stories of her clients are her own therapy sessions, as Gottlieb goes in search of the hidden roots of a devastating and life-changing event. Personal, revealing, funny and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.

It is wise, warm, smart and funny, and Lori Gottlieb is exceedingly good company.' -- Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet '... funny, hopeful, wise, and engrossing - all at the same time.

This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book.' -- Arianna Huffington, NYT bestselling author and co-founder of The Huffington Post '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, award-winning journalist
