Renowned Lecturer. Best Selling Self-Help Author. Noted Psychiatrist.

In his books, lectures, and private clinical practice, Dr. Irwin Gootnick explains, with astonishing clarity, why people act as they do even though they don't want to. For example:

  • Are you struggling in your career despite the fact that you're intelligent and skilled?
  • Do your financial choices usually backfire?
  • Are you unable to keep off extra weight (no matter how many diets you've tried)?
  • Do you continually choose relationships that don't work?
  • Do your kids act provocatively towards you despite whatever rewards or punishments you implement?
  • Do you find yourself sounding just like your parent(s) even though you promised yourself that you'd be different?

For the past 40 years, Dr. Gootnick has helped hundreds of patients solve these issues and others. In his books, he helps individuals understand their actions and offers self-help techniques for getting past these self-defeating behaviors and leading a happier more fulfilling life.

With the insights he's gained from working with his patients, Dr. Gootnick lectures to groups of all sizes throughout the United States.

His clear, "no psycho-babble" approach to speaking has led him to be featured on many radio and television shows, including on The Oprah Winfrey Show. (He was the sole guest for the entire hour!)
