Get the Summary of Lori Gottlieb's Maybe You Should Talk to Someone in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: 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.
