An essential guide to modern etiquette.
Life is full of awkward social situations; we forget someone's name
while making introductions, we're stuck on the elevator with our boss,
we run into our ex on a first date. While these dilemmas might feel
trivial, they tap into some of the deepest themes of our social
existence: how to pursue our own agenda while honoring the happiness and
needs of others? How to go beyond the surface level when relating to
another person?
Featuring twenty case studies from our modern world, this book puts good
manners back at the center of our lives. Far from being old fashioned or
stuffy, The School of Life argues, etiquette provides a framework
through which to create a kinder and more considerate world.
