Elizabeth Bernstein

Elizabeth Bernstein has been at the Wall Street Journal for 25 years, where she has covered topics such higher education, philanthropy, mental health and religion; been an investigative reporter on several high-profile projects; and written two different columns. For the past 16 of these years, she has written the super-popular “Bonds: On Relationships” column, which explores social psychology–or how we best relate to ourselves and to others. (Think: Relationships of all kinds.) Each week, she sorts through the very best relationship research, and talks to the nation's top experts, to guide readers through the stickiest of interpersonal problems about topics as varied as sex, sleep, communication, arguing, awe and many more. She lives in Miami with her rescue dog Scout and is an avid sailor, scuba diver, reader and people lover.
