`If you have even an ounce of interest in the therapeutic process, or in the conundrum of being human, you must read this book. It is wise, warm, smart and funny, and Lori Gottlieb is exceedingly good company.' -- Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet '... funny, hopeful, wise, and engrossing - all at the same time.

This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book.' -- Arianna Huffington, NYT bestselling author and co-founder of The Huffington Post '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, award-winning journalist
