Biografia e Jornada do Autor

Lori Gottlieb was born on December 20, 1966, in Los Angeles, California, where she grew up immersed in stories that would later define her career. She studied language and culture at Yale University and Stanford University, exploring global beliefs and traditions. In her twenties, she pivoted to visual storytelling as a film and television executive, working on shows like ER at NBC. This phase marked her early fascination with narrative structure, but a desire for deeper impact led her back to Stanford for medical school, where she published her first book, solidifying her commitment to writing about the human condition.

Happiness equals reality minus expectations
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Don't judge your feelings; notice them. Use them as your map. Don't be afraid of the truth
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
We tend to think that the future happens later, but we’re creating it in our minds every day. When the present falls apart, so does the future we had associated with it. And having the future taken away is the mother of all plot twists
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
As a therapist, I know a lot about pain, about the ways in which pain is tied to loss. But I also know something less commonly understood: that change and loss travel together. We can’t have change without loss, which is why so often people say they want change but nonetheless stay exactly the same
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
Sometimes in their pain, people believe that the agony will last forever. But feelings are actually more like weather systems – they blow in and they blow out
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
There’s a difference between pain and suffering. You’re going to have to feel pain- everyone feels pain at times- but you don’t have to suffer so much
-Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
quote
Suffering shouldn’t be ranked, because pain is not a contest
