Maybe You Should Talk to Someone – A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
Over a Million Copies Sold — An Instant New York Times Bestseller
What does it feel like to sit across from a therapist — and what happens when the therapist needs one herself? In this daring, funny, and deeply moving book, psychotherapist and advice columnist Lori Gottlieb pulls back the curtain on the therapy room, weaving together the stories of four patients (and her own) into a portrait of what it means to be human.
A Book That Will Change How You See Yourself
Praised by Katie Couric as "laugh-out-loud funny and utterly absorbing" and called "daring, delightful, and transformative" by Arianna Huffington, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is equal parts memoir, therapy deep-dive, and page-turning narrative. It's the rare book that makes you feel seen — and gives you permission to be a work in progress.
