Story
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank. Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police. Inside the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are.

Story
Thirty-four-year-old Nora's life could be better. She's lonely, single and has just lost her job. Her cat dying feels like the last straw. What else is there to live for? Then she finds a library between life and death where she gets to try all the other lives she could have lived. The Midnight Library is a gloriously relatable novel about life, death and the in-between. It is about finding hope, playing chess, dumping regrets and picking the right people around you.

Lose yourself in the story of a lifetime – the unforgettable Sunday Times best seller. A story of two siblings, their childhood home and a past that they can’t let go.

Story
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals. As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At 16, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Story
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years. This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege.

It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? Our narrator has many of the advantages of life: young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. But there is a vacuum at the heart of things, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents in college, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her alleged best friend.

It is the summer of 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York with her suitcase and sewing machine, exiled by her despairing parents. Although her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll have been deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, she soon finds gainful employment as the self-appointed seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, her unconventional Aunt Peg's charmingly disreputable Manhattan revue theatre.

In her new audiobook, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives.

Publisher's Summary
Ever wonder what your therapist is really thinking? Now you can find out...a hilarious, thought-provoking and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world.
Meet Lori Gottlieb, an insightful and compassionate therapist whose clients present with all kinds of problems. There’s the struggling new parents; the older woman who feels she has nothing to live for; the self-destructive young alcoholic; and the terminally ill 35-year-old newlywed.
And there’s John, a narcissistic television producer, who frankly just seems to be a bit of a jerk. Over the course of a year, they all make progress. But Gottlieb is not just a therapist - she’s also a patient who's on a journey of her own.
Interspersed with the stories of her clients are her own therapy sessions, as Gottlieb goes in search of the hidden roots of a devastating and life-changing event.
Personal, revealing, funny and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.

A good book, until
I'm not sure if it's the style of reading or the story itself, but about 70% in I grew tired of the repetitive pattern of sharing life lessons through a therapists lense. it was interesting when the various stories were being shared, but then it became less story and more reflection. I finished it just to see how things end for the characters.

A lovely book that gave me company on many workouts and evening strolls. The anecdotes and life stories are interesting as well as funny. It's a book that makes you realise that life can make you smile and it can crack you up too just as it may bring you to years every now and then.
Also, anyone hesitating to seek professional help for their mental health, listen to this book. It will reassure you and convince you to do what you need to do for yourself.

A pass
I didn’t like this book. I found it quite boring and lacking in depth overall and verging on cringeworthy in parts. The author tries so hard that it was difficult to listen to at times. The overacting of the narration didn’t help. Given the subject I expected something interesting and insightful but it wasn’t either.

Don’t listen to the last five or six chapters while driving!
I loved this book and all the characters in it. It was difficult to not form a connection with each of the characters in the book as you shared their journey through therapy. I found the last five or six chapters emotionally difficult to listen to and while driving the car to work experienced floods of tears as each characters story was brought to a conclusion. A satisfying listen that has left me questioning my life, my decisions, my stuckness in my situation. Great to listen to a book that makes you reflect on your circumstances and how different life could be if you could find the courage to take the required steps. Maybe I need to talk to someone!

Just bad
Lori Gottlieb is a bad therapist. She is a very dislikable person and her out of control narcissism shines through in the book. Worse though is that she’s just a bad therapist. Her therapy is insight orientated and completely misses the point. She’s incapable of any thought beyond the pseudo intelectual.
This book is just bad. Well read though

Insightful, powerful, normal and highly enjoyable
As a counsellor I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, both the account of giving and receiving counselling. I kept thinking of clients I wanted to recommend it to, so you certainly don't have to be in the profession to get lots out of it - it's an account of life struggles and triumphs, existentialism and endings. It'll certainly give you personal insight.
It's also written in an easy to follow way and isn't full of counselling lingo or terminology and is fully geared towards ordinary people, going about life wondering what the meaning of it all.

Listen! Listen now!
I adore this book and will come back to it again in the future. I cared about what happened to every character, and it was peppered with non-preachy wisdom too. At times, deeply emotional and, at others, beautifully funny! The narrator also seemed very real, like this was believably her book, her words. Perfect listen for me as a trainee counsellor, and I imagine a great many people would love it.

Funny, sad, real
This book caught me off guard. It’s a warmly written, but nonetheless grounded story of human experiences, told from the therapist’s couch. Some of it is extremely sad, although I laughed out loud enough to offset the times it had me sobbing into the washing up. The narrator is also very good - she could have written it herself. One to listen to if you like, or need, a bit of introspection.

fascinating insight into the world of therapy
This book was interesting and helpful, and the narrator was lively. It gave me a lot to think about relating to my own experiences and way of being in the world. One thing that left me feeling uncomfortable was the way the author talked about the experiences of older women, particularly Rita. I felt that the author had much less compassion and more judgement about Rita's situation compared to the other stories she shared. I didn't understand why Rita was considered responsible for the crimes of her abusive ex-partner.

OK time filler, althought there were moments where I was struggling with keeping my attention.

Intricately written
This book is wonderfully presented, by the therapist, who we also learn is human.
It’s funny and sad and thoughtful and well narrated.

Verrrrryyy long story
Read a review that said they were sick of the story teller half way through and that kind of resonated with me. Although a great story and a useful tool for self reflection I found myself struggling to get through the last few hours even with its relevance

One of the best books i have ever read
This book had me laughing, sobbing, smiling, screaming. It was amazing, and written so well. It makes you reflect on your own experiences and just tells the story so well that you don't even realise you are doing it. It is humorous and leaves you wanting to continue without ever having to stop!

Enjoyed it
I really enjoyed this book it was a mix of story and education and had lots of insightful moments and left the listener mindful of their own behaviours.

I feel on the fence with this one
I thought there were some good insights at times. But I also found it self-indulgent. I started to feel a bit sick of the main character halfway through. I felt myself willing her to stop thinking and start living, and not tell me about every inch of it.

Food for thought!
As a late diagnosed neurodivergent woman myself, this helped me understand myself more than I can begin to explain & made me feel validated for my struggles that even I didn't fully understand until now. Thank you for sharing these insights & for your bravery in your advocacy. It has inspired me to be more fully myself.

Great book
I just graduated from bachelor of arts psychology and felt like my life is a mess. Remembering I had bought this book last year, I decided to try it out. It gave me so much outlook into the minds of other people while also how some aspects of psychotherapy works. I definitely recommend this book!

Absolutely amazing , interesting , heartfelt and sometimes confronting!
I listened to this book at every opportunity ! Sometimes for a few minutes depending on my child or dog or partners needs and sometimes for hours! I didn’t want it to end! For someone who has done therapy on and off for 12 years and has contemplated as a career at times it resonated on so many levels !! I cried and I laughed! But mostly it had me confronting some of my own life with a few penny dropping thought provoking , confronting moments . I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to understand themselves and how they relate to the world !
