　　「生動描寫人類所面臨的狀況，簡直是令人成癮的奇幻導覽。」——科克斯書評

　　「我很少讀到一本書可以讓我腦洞大開、帶給我全新視野，同時又淺顯易讀、有趣地令人打從心底發笑。」——CBS當家女主播Katie Couric

　　「這是一本大膽、振奮人心且能反轉你我想法的好書。」《赫芬頓郵報》及《科技新報》創辦人Arianna Huffington



　　Lori Gottlieb是一位心理治療師，平時就在洛杉磯的診療室工作，然而，一場犯罪事件讓她的世界天翻地覆。於是，總是為別人諮商的Gottlieb走進了其他診療室，成為待諮詢的患者。

 

　　Gottlieb與許許多多的病人一起探索著他們內心潛藏的無助——將自己與世界隔絕的好萊塢製片、甫新婚卻被診斷有絕症的年輕人、因自己的狀況遲遲沒有好轉而對Gottlieb發出謀殺威脅的病患以及不斷遇到壞男人的妙齡少女等，皆曾求助於Gottlieb，最後這些問題都壓在Gottlieb的心裡，成了她尋求諮商的病因之一。



　　Gottlieb引領我們走進她的診間，讓我們看看在愛與慾望、生存意義與死亡、罪惡與救贖、恐懼與勇氣、希望與變動間進退維谷的我們該如何認清哪些是現實，而哪些只是虛幻的想像。



　　本書勇於告訴我們生而為人意義何在，又不失幽默地揭開生命的神秘面紗，絕對是你我探索心靈不可或缺的好書。(文/博客來編譯)

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

＂Rarely have I read a book that challenged me to see myself in an entirely new light, and was at the same time laugh-out-loud funny and utterly absorbing.＂--Katie Couric

＂This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book.＂--Arianna Huffington, Founder, Huffington Post and Founder & CEO, Thrive Global

＂Wise, warm, smart, and funny. You must read this book.＂--Susan Cain, New York Times best-selling 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 of-fice 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 rev-olutionary in its candor, offering a deeply per-sonal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly reveal-ing 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.
