Wow! The ability to write about the fragility of life and having compassion for one’s self through the lens of both patient and therapist has moved me in a profound way. I have a feeling this is going to be the best book I have read all year. Everyone should read this book.
An incredible book! Reading this was a healing experience.

This book really resonated with me at this point in my life. Having been a therapy patient myself, it was interesting and poignant to see both her experience as a therapist, and in turn as a patient herself.
Lori Gottlieb shares so much insight with the reader through her journey with a clear voice that humbly reminded us that she may not see things in herself as she tells her story, but they are just that, her lived story. Her writing style is incredibly nuanced and well thought out. And in her humility and transparency, she allows the reader to also engage in this self-reflecting, no matter how tattered or dirty or broken the image looking back at us is. She gives us the added courage to start or resume the examined life, in an effort to get us all to live now while we can, knowing that we are flawed, because we are human, and that’s what gives living now more meaning. A book that anyone and everyone can learn and draw from. Highly recommend.

The way i sobbed. Very insightful book and would recco to anyone
This one just wasn't for me. It turned out to be a lot more about the author and her journey than patient stories or advice readers can actually use and unfortunately I don't think I like the author much so solely reading about her got tiring. It's not that the writing is bad or she's overtly terrible, I just don't think I would necessarily 'click' with her as a person and so I didn't really get anything (knowledge, insight, enjoyment) out of reading this book. Some of her views also came across as a bit contrary to me and I don't really agree with some of the things she presents as 'facts' of therapy and life in general, but I'm not a therapist so who knows.
