About the Author

Heather Havrilesky is a celebrated advice columnist, essayist, and cultural critic whose sharp wit and unflinching honesty have made her a trusted voice for navigating the absurdities of contemporary existence. Best known for her long-running Ask Polly column in The Cut, where she dispenses candid guidance on love, career, and the human condition, Havrilesky draws from her own eclectic experiences as a former TV writer, music critic, and observer of life's paradoxes to offer readers both solace and a good laugh. In her acclaimed book 'How to Be a Person in the World: Ask Polly's Guide Through the Paradoxes of Modern Life,' she compiles her most insightful letters and responses, blending humor, empathy, and philosophical depth to help us all muddle through the messiness of adulthood with grace and irreverence.
