\n\nEvery year\, nearly 30 million Americans sit on a therapist&rsquo\;s couch&mdash\;and s ome of these patients are therapists. In her remarkable book \;Maybe Y ou Should Talk to Someone\, Lori Gottlieb tells us that despite her licens e and rigorous training\, her most significant credential is that she&rsqu o\;s a card-carrying member of the human race. &ldquo\;I know what it&rsqu o\;s like to be a person\,&rdquo\; she writes\, as a crisis causes her wor ld to come crashing down.
\nEnter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, card igan\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.
\nWe invite you to join us as Gottlieb chats about exploring the inner chambers of her patie nts&rsquo\; lives&mdash\;a self-absorbed Hollywood producer\, a young newl ywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citizen threatening to e nd her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, and a twenty-somethin g who can&rsquo\;t stop hooking up with the wrong guys (even one from the waiting room)&mdash\;she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
\nWith startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb reveals our blind spots\, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope b etween love and desire\, meaning and mortality\, guilt and redemption\, te rror and courage\, hope and change.
\nMaybe You Should Talk to Someo ne \;is revolutionary in its candor\, offering a deeply personal yet u niversal 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 disarmingl y funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.
