Book Overview
Essential Manners for Men helps men make the right decisions about what to do and say in every situation that counts. Peter Post, great-grandson of Emily Post, distills the essential information men need for all the important roles they play in life.
Organized into three parts -- Daily Life, Social Life, and On the Job -- Essential Manners for Men resolves situations that can stump even the savviest. Peter Post's advice is sharp-witted and sensible, with tips, boxes, and candid anecdotes about his own etiquette blunders. Topics include:
The most important behaviors to avoid and emulate at the gym, at work, on the golf course, at home, out with friends, at a business social event, and a child's ball game
Tipping, driver's ed-iquette, introductions, sportsmanship, and parenting
Successfully sharing living spaces with a roommate, significant other, or spouse -- from the toilet seat to the remote control to the kitchen sink
How to throw a great party or be the perfect guest
How to successfully navigate the business dinner
Things men do wrong that make women wince, and things men do right that women love
The five-step process to resolve any situation where there is no etiquette rule
Short and shoot-from-the-hip honest, Essential Manners for Men is a book no man can afford to be without.
