名列《紐約時報》暢銷書榜 各方盛讚佳評如潮：
「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)

"An irresistibly addictive tour of the human condition."--Kirkus, starred review
"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 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.

"An addictive book that's part Oliver Sacks and part Nora Ephron. Prepare to be riveted."—People Magazine, Book of the Week
“The Atlantic's ‘Dear Therapist’ columnist offers a startlingly revealing tour of the therapist’s life, examining her relationships with her patients, her own therapist, and various figures in her personal life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Gottlieb’s book is perhaps the first I’ve read that explains the therapeutic process in no-nonsense terms while simultaneously giving hope to therapy skeptics like me who think real change through talk is elusive.”—Judith Newman, New York Times
"A psychotherapist and advice columnist at The Atlantic shows us what it’s like to be on both sides of the couch with doses of heartwarming humor and invaluable, tell-it-like-it-is wisdom."—O, The Oprah Magazine
“A no-holds-barred look at how therapy works.”—Parade
"Who could resist watching a therapist grapple with the same questions her patients have been asking her for years? Gottlieb, who writes the Atlantic’s “Dear Therapist” column, brings searing honesty to her search for answers."—The Washington Post
“Reading it is like one long therapy session—and may be the gentle nudge you need to start seeing a therapist again IRL.”—Hello Giggles
“In her memoir, bestselling author, columnist, and therapist Lori Gottlieb explores her own issues — and discovers just how similar they are to the problems of her clients.”—Bustle
“A most satisfying and illuminating read for psychotherapy patients, their therapists, and all the rest of us.”—New York Journal of Books

"Written with grace, humor, wisdom, and compassion, this [is a] heartwarming journey of self-discovery."—Library Journal
"The coup de grace is Gottlieb’s vulnerability with her own therapist. Some readers will know Gottlieb from her many TV appearances or her 'Dear Therapist”'column, but even for the uninitiated-to-Gottlieb, it won’t take long to settle in with this compelling read."—Booklist
"Sparkling . . . Gottlieb portrays her patients, as well as herself as a patient, with compassion, humor, and grace."—Publishers Weekly
"An entertaining, relatable, and moving homage to therapy—and being human. We’re all in this together, folks—something this book hits home."—The Amazon Book Review
"Warm, approachable and funny—a pleasure to read."—Bookpage
"Heartwarming and upbeat, this memoir demystifies therapy and celebrates the human spirit."—Shelf Awareness
"Therapists play a special and invaluable role in the lives of the 30 million Americans who attend sessions, but have you ever wondered where they go when they need to talk to someone? Veteran psychotherapist and New York Times best-selling author Lori Gottlieb share
