Maybe You Should Talk to Someone – Lori Gottlieb (Hardcover)

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

Lori Gottlieb spends her days as a therapist helping others navigate life's hardest moments — until a sudden personal crisis sends her own world into a tailspin. She ends up on the couch of Wendell, a therapist who looks every bit the part but turns out to be far more than she expects.

As Gottlieb works through her own healing, she introduces readers to a handful of her own patients: a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a newlywed facing a terminal diagnosis, a woman in crisis over turning seventy, and a twenty-something caught in a cycle of bad relationships. What emerges is a funny, moving, and unexpectedly universal look at what it means to be human — and how therapy, whichever side of the couch you're on, can change a life.

Equal parts memoir and behind-the-scenes look at psychotherapy, this book has resonated with readers far beyond the therapy-curious, becoming one of the most talked-about nonfiction titles of recent years.
