Anna Goldfarb

My name is Anna Goldfarb. I write about friendships, relationships and pop psychology for:

• The New York Times
• The Atlantic
• TIME
• The Washington Post
• Vox
• The Cut

I’m currently working on a book called MODERN FRIENDSHIP. It’s about how to cultivate calm, nourishing friendships with yourself and others. It will be out in May 2024 on Sounds True.

Subscribe to my newsletter for periodic updates about my work. I also share things I love (affordable eye primer, artisanal kettle corn, underwire-free bras) and a few things I hate (Zack Braff, oat milk, humidity).

My first book, “Clearly, I Didn’t Think This Through” (Berkley Books, Penguin) is a humor memoir. I talk about guys I’ve dated, impulsive decisions I’ve made, and all the furniture I’ve accidentally broken. If you’re looking for lols, check it out.

I’m based in Philadelphia, where I live with my husband Mike and our three-legged cat, Eleanor.

If you’re looking for a fresh take on relationships, friendships and how to live life (slightly) better, drop me a line.
