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.

As much as I’ve loved Lori’s writing in the past, and as interested as I am in people’s stories and the subject of therapy, I held off on listening to this audio book. 14 hours! I thought it might drag on and on and I’d get bored and frustrated with it. Boy, was I wrong. It was a f*cking masterpiece! Absolutely riveting. And so easy and enjoyable to listen to. I almost didn’t want it to end.

I can’t recommend this book more highly. It’s so unique, intriguing and relateable. I was gripped by everyone’s stories - the various patients and Lori’s. And I can assure you each story’s ‘ending’ is extremely satisfying. It’s so beautifully written, and time flies by as you soak it all in and get taken on a journey.

This book was pure joy and definitely a standout. It deserves more than five stars.

A f*cking masterpiece!

I’m just starting out in my 2nd career as a counsellor and also have a counsellor myself. This book landed in my life at the perfect moment. It’s so well written and the stories captivated and moved me. I had so many moments of understanding and growth through listening and feel sad it’s finished now, but I know I’ve changed through listening to it and I’m glad for this.

One of the best books I’ve ever listened to
