Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed Apr 2, 2019

by Lori Gottlieb

( 8,813 )

$12.99

INSTANT 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 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.

Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough Feb 1, 2010

by Lori Gottlieb

( 664 )

$12.99

An eye-opening, funny, painful, and always truthful in-depth examination of modern relationships and a wake-up call for single women about getting real about Mr. Right.

You have a fulfilling job, great friends, and the perfect apartment. So what if you haven’t found “The One” just yet. He’ll come along someday, right?

But what if he doesn’t? Or what if Mr. Right had been, well, Mr. Right in Front of You—but you passed him by? Nearing forty and still single, journalist Lori Gottlieb started to wonder: What makes for lasting romantic fulfillment, and are we looking for those qualities when we’re dating? Are we too picky about trivial things that don’t matter, and not picky enough about the often overlooked things that do?

In Marry Him, Gottlieb explores an all-too-common dilemma—how to reconcile the desire for a happy marriage with a list of must-haves and deal-breakers so long and complicated that many great guys get misguidedly eliminated. On a quest to find the answer, Gottlieb sets out on her own journey in search of love, discovering wisdom and surprising insights from sociologists and neurobiologists, marital researchers and behavioral economists—as well as single and married men and women of all generations.

Talvez você deva conversar com alguém: Uma terapeuta, o terapeuta dela e a vida de todos nós (Portuguese Edition) Apr 14, 2020

by Lori Gottlieb , Elisa Nazarian

( 943 )

$5.99

De modo geral, buscamos a ajuda de um terapeuta para melhor compreender as angústias, os medos, a culpa ou quaisquer outros sentimentos que nos causam desconforto e sofrimento. Mas quantos de nós já paramos para perguntar: o terapeuta está imune à gama de questões que ele auxilia seus pacientes a dirimir e superar, dia após dia? A autora best-seller e terapeuta Lori Gottlieb nos mostra que a resposta a essa pergunta traz revelações surpreendentes.

Quando ela se vê emocionalmente incapaz de gerenciar uma situação que perturba sua vida, uma amiga lhe faz uma sugestão: talvez você deva conversar com alguém.

Combinando histórias reunidas a partir de sua rica trajetória como terapeuta (distribuídas entre quatro personagens inesquecíveis) à sua própria experiência como paciente, Lori nos oferece um relato afetuoso, leve e comovente sobre a universalidade de nossas perguntas e ansiedades, e joga luz sobre o que há de mais misterioso em nós, afirmando nossa capacidade de mudar nossas vidas.

Uma jornada emocionante de autodescoberta, uma homenagem à natureza humana e um lembrete sobre a importância de sermos ouvidos, mas também de sabermos ouvir. Um livro sobre a importância dos encontros, dos afetos e da coragem de todos os que partimos para a aventura do autoconhecimento.

From toughLOVE, a unique online community: balanced, practical advice for parents of school-age children from child psychology experts on how to handle everything from picky eating to media consumption to the homework wars.

Their breadth of clinical expertise and years of coaching real families will help parents build a commonsense framework for approaching all kinds of dilemmas in a way that reflects their personal values and preferred parenting styles.

Combining a high level of nurture with an emphasis on boundaries and structure, toughLOVE shows parents how to help their kids become capable, responsible, and productive from the first day of kindergarten through the first day of college…and beyond.
