Publisher's Synopsis
As we go through life, we have to interact with others. The challenge for many of us is that we don't know or apply the appropriate behaviour demanded by different situations, and we end up (unknowingly, more often than not) having a negative impact on the lives and experiences of others around us. This is where these simple but practical truths come in.
'Because Manners Matter' is a book designed to help better understand the sometimes unspoken rules of social interaction on the journey to becoming a better and more pleasant 'you', particularly as it relates to interacting with other people.
The application of etiquette and social graces is about positively impacting the lives of others, and helping make them feel good about themselves, for the world would be a better place if we all practiced 'respect' and 'consideration' for others - two themes which are constant throughout the book.
Filled with pragmatic tips - combined with witty and profound quotes underpinning each topic - it is short, concise and straight to the point. While not exhaustive about all of life's interactions, the simple outline of this book, in an A-Z compilation, allows you to easily identify different areas that you might wish to brush up on and put into practice.
If you're ready to see what your life could be as a more self-aware and 'socially graceful person', or if you desire to refresh skills which are already a part of your makeup, pick up a pen and a notepad and get on with discovering why manners really matter.
You'll be glad you did!
