Lori Gottlieb is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and the author of Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. Her new book is Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. “Everything that I had done all coalesced into one thing. As a journalist i was helping people to tell their stories, as a therapist I could help people to edit their stories, to change their stories. I could be immersed in the human condition in both of these things.” Thanks to Mailchimp, Pitt Writers, Native, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode. @LoriGottlieb1 lorigottlieb.com Gottlieb's archive at The Atlantic [2:57] Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed (Houghton Mifflin • 2019) [03:53] Lori Gottlieb's TED Talk: “How Changing Your Story Can Change Your Life”(2019) [9:46] “Slate Diary: Lori Gottlieb” (Slate • 1998) [11:35] “Marry Him!
