How to be a Person in the World will change your life\, for the way better.”  —Anne Lamott\, New York Times bestselling author of Small Victories \n\n“Heather Havrilesky is that rare writer who can dish out tangy snark but never fails to aim the knife back at her own damaged\, hilarious heart.

Required reading.”  —Patton Oswalt\, New York Times bestselling author of Silver Screen Fiend \n\n“Sometimes I think Heather Havrilesky’s Ask Polly column is the only true thing on the Internet.

Along the way\, she offers up a slyly powerful critique of the ways in which culture shapes the individual. How To Be a Person In the World distills her salty\, expansive wisdom into a guide for better living that’s both pragmatic and philosophical\, a large-hearted reminder that all of us are struggling\, and none of us are alone.” —Kate Bolick\, author of the national bestseller Spinster \n\nAbout How to Be a Person in the World: \nA collection of original\, impassioned\, and inspiring letters by the author of the popular advice column Ask Polly\nShould you quit your day job to follow your dreams?
