I recommend this book to almost everyone but especially if you have an interest in mental health or if you have ever been through trauma that made you consider therapy. I recommend this to people who work in therapy social work or healthcare. It starts off slow and you may say “why do I care about this” but when the author starts drawing parallels between her experiences with that of her patients and experiences with her therapist it’s very interesting and enlightening.

What a great book! Lori Gottlieb talks about her life, how she became a therapist, and her struggles as well as the life challenges of her patients in such way that we feel like we're reading a novel. So many insights, the kind of book that naturally teaches you so much about psychology and gives you tools to cope with your own struggles without sounding like a "self-help" book. I loved it! ❤️

hannahgunther's review against another edition

Gottlieb crafts a raw, real, and personal narrative that answers the question: what does it mean to be human? However, her frequent use of lewd, vulgar language and often "TMI" anecdotes made me put the book down.
