"An irresistibly addictive tour of the human condition." (Kirkus, starred review)

"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, a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new book 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 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 20-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.

With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world 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.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Brittany Pressley performs this audiobook at a fast pace that will be familiar to listeners who live in large, bustling cities. But she knows how to moderate her energy for the tender sections, and her overall performance sounds authentic, conversational, and true to the core intentions of the author's story....Portrayed by Pressley, [the author] also sounds like someone you know, which makes her observations and insights all the more accessible." (AudioFile Magazine)

Editor's Pick

Who shrinks the shrink?
"We may not spend the precious hours we have with our therapists learning about their lives, but Lori Gottlieb's smart and funny memoir makes you at least think about asking the next one you meet, "Hey, how are you?" It took enduring a brutal breakup and having to still focus on her patients, despite her own inner turmoil, to make Gottlieb realize she could use a little therapy herself. She shares the reality of navigating her own complex emotional life while trying to help others do the same with an utterly believable voice that feels like a movie you'd love to see, without it being absurdly overblown. It's voiced by narrator Brittany Pressley in a way that literally makes you want to make Gottlieb your new BFF, if it weren't for those pesky doctor-patient boundaries."

This is an incredible journey through the art of therapy —- told by a therapist who sees a therapist — and the lessons she learns from him and her patients through the years. Expertly crafted, funny, self-deprecating and brutally honest, this is a must listen. I laughed, cried and took deep breathes as Gottlieb wove her life’s work into a book that anyone in therapy or in pain will most likely find astonishingly illuminating in their own lives. I didn’t want it to end.

This book was comical, yet emotional on every level. I laughed, I cried, I hugged my loved ones a little tighter. A book that was written so well it played like a movie in my head. I could taste the Chinese chicken salad Jon brought into his sessions, I could hear Julie and her boyfriend laughing and crying together, I could see Ruby’s art, and I could feel every emotion expressed throughout this amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for sharing Lori.

An amazing story that touched all five of my senses

I wanted to be a therapist for quite a while and ended up seeing one for the last four years. This is exactly what I wanted to know about how my therapist might see me or if she likes me. And I can see that she had her own real problems and that doesn't mean she's a bad therapist, her problems make her a better therapist.

Riveting and humbeling

This book is outside my usual genres but I read it because it was recommended by a university virtual book club. Overall this was an enjoyable listen. I work as a family physician in a small town. Having a counselor smart enough to get into medical school is a relative oddity. Having some superstar clients is also extremely unusual. Overall this book seemed to confirm my bias that most counselors go into the field because they were helped themselves. However most of them continue to battle their own neuroses. I prefer to send my patients first to area ministers who also want to help people, have often had significant training, and can be much cheaper (and some studies suggest better outcomes, largely because these people usually don't have as much emotional baggage). I would have liked the book to discuss when therapists recommend medication. Worth the listen.

Justification for Counseling

I’m not really sure why I chose this book. It’s not my usual listen. Maybe it chose me?

Anyway, I read or listen to about 100 books per year. And this one is now firmly in my top 5 all time favorites.

Right up there with ShoeDog.

It’s different than ShoeDog. But the quality of the story telling is just as good.

I’ve never been to therapy. (People my age from my part of the country don’t talk about therapy... so it’s sort of taboo.)

But, after listening to this book, I see why people get value from it.

Listening to the stories in this book made me laugh, cry, and consider things about my life I’d never considered... including finding a good therapist.

I could go on but let me end with this...

Maybe You Should Talk To Someone is not just a book you read or listen to, it’s a book you experience.

Add to cart and start your experience now.

Incredible. In My Top 5...
