Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
by Lori GottliebINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Now being developed as a television series with Eva Longoria and ABC!&“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 QuietFrom 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.

La vida transcurre apaciblemente en el idílico pueblecito inglés de Edgecombe St. Mary, cuyos habitantes son defensores de la tradición y las viejas costumbres, como las partidas de caza o las fiestas temáticas en el club de campo. Sin embargo, para el mayor Pettigrew, militar retirado, viudo, hombre flemático y cultivado, dotado de un gran sentido del honor -y, a su manera, del humor-, la rutina diaria está a punto de sufrir un notable vuelco. Cuando recibe la noticia de la súbita muerte de su hermano, Pettigrew halla consuelo en la discreta señora Ali, que regenta la pequeña tienda de ultramarinos del pueblo y con quien el mayor apenas ha intercambiado unas pocas palabras hasta entonces. De ascendencia paquistaní y diez años más joven que él, Ali también ha enviudado recientemente y tiene que hacer frente a las presiones del clan familiar, capitaneado por un arisco sobrino que aspira a quitarle las riendas del negocio. Ambos son amantes de la vida solitaria, de los poemas de Kipling y de la taza de té perfecta, y se sienten irremediablemente atraídos.
