How to Be a Person in the World

Heather Havrilesky, advice columnist for NEW YORK magazine, addresses the best questions she's been asked over the years, all of which culminates in advice on how to be a good person. She gets down to the root of the matter in a blunt but effective way with a voice that radiates enthusiasm, sass, and practical wisdom. Her bursts of energetic swearing somehow add authenticity and urgency to her thoughtful responses. Advice on dating, career paths, and other life choices will delight listeners who may have the same problems and those who simply want to hear clever responses to interesting questions. This capable advice columnist sounds like a trusted friend. D.Z. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
