The School of Life Guide to Modern Manners How to navigate the dilemmas of social life ISBN: 9781912891146 (HB - EN) € bestellen verlanglijst An essential guide to modern etiquette; putting good manners back at the center of our priorities. 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.
