You must read this book."--Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet From a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and national advice columnist, a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world--where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). One 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 therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- 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 gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet 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 disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.

REVIEW
I rarely give five stars; it is well earned in this case. Superficially, this is a wonderful, readable story.. The writing is fantastic,, each character unique and their journeys, all of them, so interesting and compelling. yet there is so much more than a great story here.. I will reread this immediately in an effort to more closely appreciate the subtle tips and processes used to better see the reality of hidden issues we struggle with. Through a therapist lense we see many different patients and many different problems and issues. Keys / strategies to see and identify the issues we struggle with and a better view to interpret these issues are demonstrated using basic terms and easy to understand scenarios. The characters, their problems and stories are familiar and relatable. We see real life examples of how past experiences sabotage our current reactions to new experiences. The reader needs only to carefully examine their own life to gain (almost certainly!) better understanding and with that insight, an informed clarity with which to newly see their own life This is not a "self help" book; its not that simple. To really appreciate the benefits, it will take far more reflection and personal candor to find the guidance to improve or help yourself. The map is there if you choose to dig for it. Ultimately, what I came to find I may have missed on my first pass. Even so, if its only that one issue that eludes me, there is still a vast treasure worth uncovering within these stories. And if your not looking for anything more than a good book, these stories are beautiful, personal and so moving. Its a great read!
