Enter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned th erapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardig an\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Ca sting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. In her book\, Lori explore s the inner chambers of her patients&rsquo\; lives&mdash\;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 ge ts better\, and a twenty-something who can&rsquo\;t stop hooking up with t he wrong guys (even one from the waiting room)&mdash\;she finds that the q uestions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.

\n

With startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb reveals our b lind spots\, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and other s as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire\, meaning and mort ality\, guilt and redemption\, terror and courage\, hope and change.
