Book Review: How To Be a Person In the World (2016) by Heather Havrilesky

How To Be A Person In The World is a book about, well, how to be a person in the world. The book is split into four sections – work, love, friendship, and faith – and Havrilesky covers a lot of ground in each one.

The work section is all about, well, work. Havrilesky has a lot of good advice about how to find a job you love (or at least don’t hate), how to deal with difficult co-workers and bosses, and how to manage your time and energy at work. This section also includes a great chapter on creative blocks and how to overcome them.

The love section is about, you guessed it, love. Havrilesky tackles everything from first dates to long-term relationships to breakups. She has a lot of great advice about how to communicate with your partner, how to deal with conflict, and how to keep the spark alive in a relationship. This section also includes a chapter on single life, which is just as informative and helpful as the rest of the section.

The friendship section is all about, you guessed it, friendship. In this section, Havrilesky covers everything from how to make friends as an adult to how to deal with difficult friends to how to end a friendship. She has a lot of great advice about how to be a good friend, how to deal with conflict, and how to deal with different types of friendships. This section also includes a chapter on social media and how it can impact friendships.

The faith section is about, you guessed it, faith. In this section, Havrilesky covers everything from how to find a community to how to deal with doubt to how to deal with difficult times. She has a lot of great advice about how to find a community that supports you, how to deal with doubt and fear, and how to deal with difficult times. This section also includes a chapter on death and how to deal with the death of a loved one.

Overall, I thought this was a great book. Havrilesky is a great writer and she covers a lot of ground in each section. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for some guidance on how to be a person in the world.
