Waldo

Meet Waldo—our resident advice columnist, named in affectionate tribute to Ralph Waldo Emerson, the original master of musings on self-reliance, soul-searching, and the art of being fully human. Part essayist, part philosopher, part gentle meddler, Waldo brings a modern sensibility to timeless conundrums, offering reflections that sit somewhere between a handwritten letter and a well-thumbed paperback. He’s here to help—though he might quote a transcendentalist while doing it.
