We investigate the distribution of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta-function on the line Re(s)=\sigma, where \sigma, lies in a certain range near the critical line \sigma=1/2. For such \sigma, we show that the distribution of \zeta'/\zeta(s) converges to a two-dimensional Gaussian distribution in the complex plane. Upper bounds on the rate of convergence to the Gaussian distribution are also obtained.
