How to Be a Person in the World by Heather Havrilesky

New York Times Bestseller * From the "best advice columnist of her generation" (Esquire) comes a hilarious, frank, and witty collection of all-new responses, plus a few greatest hits from the beloved "Ask Polly" column in New York magazine's The Cut.

Should you quit your day job to follow your dreams? How do you rein in an overbearing mother? Will you ever stop dating wishy-washy, noncommittal guys? Should you put off having a baby for your career? 

Heather Havrilesky is here to guide you through the "what if's" and "I don't knows" of modern life with the signature wisdom and tough love her readers have come to expect. Whether she's responding to cheaters or loners, lovers or haters, the anxious or the down-and-out, Havrilesky writes with equal parts grace, humor, and compassion to remind you that even in your darkest moments you're not alone.

Heather Havrilesky is the author of How to Be a Person in the World, which was inspired by her popular Ask Polly advice column in New York Magazine's The Cut. She spent seven years as a TV reviewer at Salon, and her work has appeared in publications such as New York magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Bookforum, the New York Times, and NPR's All Things Considered.
