Michael I. Bennett

Michael I. Bennett is an American psychiatrist and author who practices in Boston. Born in the mid-20th century, he specializes in self-help and psychology writing with a distinctively irreverent, no-nonsense approach. He co-authored *F*ck Feelings: One Shrink's Practical Advice for Managing All Life's Impossible Problems* (2015) with his daughter, comedy writer Sarah Bennett, which became a *New York Times* bestseller. The book challenges conventional therapy wisdom by acknowledging that many problems can't be solved and offering practical coping strategies instead. He followed this success with *F*ck Love* (2017). Bennett's writing combines decades of clinical experience with sharp humor and pragmatic advice that rejects empty positivity.
