About this listen

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.

I can't think of any other word to explain how these books always come knocking at my door.

This is a superbly written book. I must say that I actually 'listened' to this book on audible and am mighty impressed by the narrator, Brittany Pressley, she is splendid! She has completely influenced my tone while saying "Idiot!"

Nothing to take away from Lori, a fabulous writer! She makes you smile, then laugh a little and then again smile while slowly injecting you with a dosage of self-consciousness. Suddenly you realise and see a cloud looming over your head, the tear glands ready to secrete their fluids and bang! A ray of light and the sun shines again with a smiley! That is exactly the experience the book leaves you with.

There are so many sentences that can be highlighted and absorbed for eternity! Thank you Lori for sharing your journey with us! Looking forward to many more such getaways!

I highly recommend this book to any and everyone! Buy it now!!!

I didn't know which direction this book was headed in when I started listening but it turned out to be a heart touching ride as I read along. There are many different stories here and some are bound to connect with you deeply.

Also, the narration is great. I went through the entire book at 1x speed and never felt like speeding it up.

A slow start but definitely worth the time

I have seldom come across books that I slowly fall in love with. I either love and dislike instantly but this was an exception. I wasn't sure about the book for a really long time but once I made it through the first couple of chapters, it was fantastic. Brittany is such a phenomenal narrator. The book is essentially a therapists therapy and therefore full of wonderful quirky people and really empathetic. The one issue I had was the varying lengths of the chapters, I wished there had been more of a uniformity to it. But that is trivial compared to the content and performance.(I know I have mentioned it enough, but trust me Brittany's just that good) It is the story of Lori, John, Charlotte, Julie and Rita. Very different people with very different stories and yet deeply engaging issues of sickness,loneliness, death, unhappiness and isolation. Lorie being a former writer on the show is certainly evident in the dramatic tone but I don't think it feels out of place even once. Definitely recommend that you try it out.

Fantastic book and wonderfully performed!!
