Description

"From William Hanson, the beloved social media star and etiquette authority, comes the quintessential guide to courtesy, charm, grace, and decorum. What is the correct way to get out of dreaded small talk? How do you end an email in way that is both polite and firm? How do you set a table fit for a king, or better yet, Martha Stewart? Don't worry, William Hanson-"Emily Post for the TikTok generation" (Vanity Fair)-is here to make us practically perfect in every way. In the "funny and show more unapologetic" (Robert Hardman, author of Charles III) Just Good Manners, he shares his definitive advice on how to behave in every situation, from a night dining out with friends to Netflix at home, as well as celebrates the deep kindness, empathy, and joy that come with good manners. As Hanson makes clear, to care for others is truly about caring and respecting oneself. With the perfect dose of Hanson's inimitable dry humor, Just Good Manners is "a must for anyone who aspires to polish up their manners" (Anne Glenconner, New York Times bestselling author)"-- Provided by publisher. show less

Witty and full of wisdom. It could easily be a guide to snobbery, but it is just good manners!
And good manners "ensure a predictable, respectful exchange, minimising misunderstandings and potential conflicts.".
