Renowned Author Lori Gottlieb to be Featured as a Guest on the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network

PHOENIX - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Lori Gottlieb, a world-renowned therapist and best-selling author, will discuss the nature of successful relationships and long-lasting marriages on Leading Minds with Dr. David Brendel, an internet radio show on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment channel (www.voiceamerica.com/channel/251/voiceamerica-empowerment).

Lori Gottlieb writes about the intersection of psychology and culture for top publications including the New York Times and she appears frequently as a guest on CNN, NPR, and The Today Show. She is the New York Times bestselling author of "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough."

Gottlieb is also a contributing editor for The Atlantic, where she published a cover story entitled "How to Land Your Kid in Therapy: Why Our Obsession with Our Kids' Happiness May Be Dooming Them to Unhappy Adulthoods." This article sparked a national conversation on our culture's notions of happiness.

On Leading Minds with Dr. David Brendel, Gottlieb will talk about her observations as a therapist that many people attribute their unhappiness to something external in their lives, such as their spouse (or lack of a spouse). Over time, she came to believe that what is "wrong" in people's lives has more to do with their perceptions and expectations.

Gottlieb did independent research to assess sociologist Barry Schwartz's idea that "expectations are disappointments in training." Her findings and ideas on this matter are detailed in "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough," which she will discuss extensively on the radio program.

Leading Minds with Dr. David Brendel explores how innovative approaches in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and coaching are empowering individuals in the 21st century to realize their full human potential. The show’s unifying vision is that self-reflection, positive thinking, and personal responsibility empower people to achieve practical wisdom, develop clear action plans, and achieve lasting success.

Dr. Brendel is a leading psychiatrist and executive coach in the Boston area. He is founder and director of Leading Minds Executive & Personal Coaching (www.LeadingMindsExecutiveCoaching.com), which provides a wide range of client-centered services including executive coaching, career coaching, and management consulting. He maintains a private practice of psychiatry in the Boston area (http://www.drdavidbrendel.com/) and is the author of “Healing Psychiatry: Bridging the Science/Humanism Divide,” which was published by MIT Press.

Gottlieb and Brendel plan to conduct a high-level discussion that explores the nature of happy relationship and marriages on Leading Minds with Dr. David Brendel on Monday, August 5, 2013 at 2 PM Eastern (11 AM Pacific). The internet radio show is featured on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment channel (www.voiceamerica.com/channel/251/voiceamerica-empowerment) every Monday at 2 PM Eastern (11 AM Pacific).
