A therapist, her therapist, and our unfolding lives before us Lori Gottlieb is a psychologist. She has a clinic in Los Angeles. One day she is hit by a personal crisis and her world is destroyed. To take care of herself, she ends up in the room of Wendell, a strange and experienced psychologist, who with his bald head, in a sweater and khaki pants, looks like he came out of a therapist casting agency. That's it, no. As Gottlieb investigates the private lives of her patients—a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young bride suffering from a terminal illness, a retiree who threatens to end her life, a young woman who hooks up with the wrong men—she discovers that the questions they face are strikingly similar to the ones she too faces with Wendell's help. . With a wonderful combination of wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us to enter the world of both the therapist and the patient. She examines the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others, as we walk a tightrope between love and desire, meaning and death, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.
