Maybe You Should Talk

to Someone : A Therapist,
Her Therapist, and Our
Lives Revealed
By
Lori Gottlieb
Scribe Publications
AN AMAZON BOOK OF THE YEAR

Ever wonder what your therapist is really thinking? Now you can
find out ...

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.

'If you have even an ounce of interest in the therapeutic process, or


in the conundrum of being human, you must read this book. It is
wise, warm, smart and funny, and Lori Gottlieb is exceedingly good
company.'
- Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet
'I've been reading books about psychotherapy for over a half
century, but never have I encountered a book like Maybe You
Should Talk to Someone- so bold and brassy, so packed with good
stories, so honest, deep and riveting. I intended to read a chapter or
two but ended up reading and relishing every word.'
- Irvin Yalom MD, author of Love's Executioner, and other Tales of
Psychotherapy, and professor emeritus of psychiatry at Stanford
University

'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is funny, hopeful, wise, and


engrossing - all at the same time. Lori Gottlieb takes us inside the
most intimate of encounters as both clinician and patient and leaves
us with a surprisingly fresh understanding of ourselves, one another,
and the human condition. This is a daring, delightful, and
transformative book.'
- Arianna Huffington, founder of Huffington Post and founder &
CEO of Thrive Global
