**Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist, New York Times bestselling author, nationally recognized journalist, and weekly “Dear Therapist” columnist for The Atlantic.**

She blends her clinical experience with the latest research and cultural developments to help people live better lives.

"We were thrilled to host Lori Gottlieb as the featured speaker at our annual fundraiser Gala attended by several hundred people, including Jane Fonda. Lori’s remarks struck a balance between being exquisitely sensitive and hilariously funny. She showed a deep understanding and profound insight into the complexities of the topic, and courage in revealing herself personally as well. Our guests loved Lori!"

"An unexpected delight…the truth can be liberating."

"Gottlieb tells it like it is: In our modern world of excess, too many of us have unrealistic expectations about love, and even more unrealistic views of ourselves. Women (and men) should take Gottlieb’s message to heart: Look for reasons to say yes. It could change your life."

"Funny and relatable… anything but antiromance."

"This year's intelligent, eye-opening insight into modern relationships—a fast, funny read which might just be a formula for marital bliss."

"Gottlieb has done something important. She tells her story as if she were speaking to a roomful of adults, who can be trusted not to faint at the news."

"Marry Him is a treasure. A must-read on getting the male and female brain together in almost perfect harmony."

"What Lori Gottlieb is saying isn’t subversive—it’s smart. A thoroughly entertaining reality check, it will make single women laugh and squirm, and married people appreciate their spouses even more."

"Marry Him shows women how to find true happiness when seeking love—by giving them a new way to look at the world. Gottlieb manages to be hilarious yet thought-provoking, light-hearted yet profound on the questions of: Why do we fall in love? What qualities really matter in a marriage? For what reasons do we make the decisions that affect our whole lives? Marry Him will set people talking for years."

"I wish I could round up every single woman I know and assign this book for discussion. Gottlieb helps women see how our cultural or private fantasies build up so many expectations that they destroy the possibility of real love and, eventually, marriage. Marry Him is a big fat lesson in how not to get in your own way. Any woman who wants to find true love should read this book."

"Gottlieb is so keen an observer that even the saddest parts have some humor."

By turns funny and hopeful . . . . Lori is a latter-day Alice: She takes us through the distorted looking glass that’s held up to young girls. There’s no other word for it: You will devour this book.

"Lori Gottlieb's ‘How to Land Your Kid in Therapy’ should be mandatory reading for every parent."

"This book is both funny and true. If only I weren't happily married so I could use it to find my soul mate."

"Lori Gottlieb’s event was one of the most successful–and talked about–programs of the season. She is a terrific speaker, and has that rare gift of being entertaining and brilliant. Her topics of interest and research are always just one step ahead of the cultural conversation of the moment, and spur public discourse that is provocative and important. People turn out in droves for the opportunity to hear her."

"Funny, affecting, and useful . . . good, sound advice."

"Flashes of true hilarity that go down like stiff shots of wisdom."

"We were honored to host Lori Gottlieb as the keynote speaker. She was delightfully entertaining, brutally honest and incredibly uplifting at the same time. We applaud her for doing a masterful job of making her topic relevant to a very diverse, intergenerational audience. Lori was a wonderful speaker and our guests won’t soon forget her!"

"The best new funny book about dating on planet Earth, perhaps in the entire universe, and certainly in the Milky Way. Even Tolstoy and God together couldn't write something as funny and cool and weird and wonderful as this."

"A wonderful gem of wit, honesty, advice, and commentary . . . Gottlieb does a wonderful job of addressing an issue from both genders' perspectives.

"May be You Should Talk to Someone" by @LoriGottlieb1. I loved it. A very funny and insightful read but what stayed with me is the honestly kind and empathetic writing. It was very humanising.💜

"Rewriting your story doesn’t mean you have to do it now. It means being open to the possibility that there’s more to the story, even if you haven’t gotten to the next chapter yet."

Ever wonder what your therapist does *before* you arrive?

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my (pre-COVID) office & all of the ways I prepared for clients to arrive at the start of the day.

I miss seeing people in person, but am grateful for online therapy during this time 💙
