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. As someone whos interested in (and fascinated by) human psychology and storytelling, it hits all the right notes for me. It was equal parts light and easy to read, while being thought provoking and insightful. 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. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.Īs 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. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed is a treasure trove of stories and hard-earned advice. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands.

The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. The dual nature of the book enables Gottlieb to show her world as both a therapist and someone receiving therapy. It is a memoir where Gottlieb portrays a difficult time in her professional and personal life. One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed is a book by Lori Gottlieb, published in 2019.
