From a \;New York Times \;best-sel ling author\, psychotherapist\, and national advice columnist\, comes a hi larious\, thought-provoking\, and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world - where her patients are looking for an swers (and so is she).
\nOne day\, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next\, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned ther apist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardigan \, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Cast ing. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.
\nAs Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives - a self-absorbed Hollywood pro ducer\, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citi zen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, a nd a 20-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys - she find s that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
\nWith startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb i nvites us into her world as both clinician and patient\, examining the tru ths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrop e between love and desire\, meaning and mortality\, guilt and redemption\, terror and courage\, hope and change.
\nMaybe You Should Talk to So meone \;is revolutionary in its candor\, offering a deeply personal ye t 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 disarming ly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our powe r to transform them.
