Everyday Etiquette: How to Navigate 101 Common and Uncommon Social Situations

I work with teenagers and young adults in private practice, and frequently am teaching social skills as part of our work together. Many of my clients have Asperger's or other social deficits, but even kids without such challenges frequently 'don't get' how to interact with the world to its best effect. This makes working with their teachers, their employers, and their friends difficult at best.I have searched for social skills books before, and never found anything that would appeal to them -- until this book. First off, it is clear, concise, and well-written. It is visually appealing and laid out well. Secondly, it is CURRENT -- dealing with social media, and the vagaries of our digital lives. It is also current in dealing with the 'differences' of the sexes. Who opens the door first? The man or the woman? Whoever gets to the door first, of course! (No duh!)Finally, it is filled with useful information and written in a style that is not condescending or stuffy. A five star in my book, and on my book list of 'must reads' for my clients!

i purchased this book as I've been put in situations lately that require better etiquette and I wanted to be sure I was doing everything properly. This book is a great reference guide not only for everyday etiquette (table manners, how to handle someone's divorce, death, etc.) but also new questions someone might have about proper etiquette when dealing with cell phone use, text messages, etc. It also gives good advice about interviewing and business etiquette. Easy to read chapters and information.

Recommended reading for everyone. A great primer for what to do in the daily situations that we all find ourselves in. Not only good for adults, a great gift idea (graduation is coming up!) for teenagers so they can learn proper etiquette and stand out from their peers in business and social situations.

A rather basic look at etiquette in the digital age, but nothing too enlightening to share with the reader. Probably would be a nice gift for a new graduate - either high school or college.

Three years ago during the pandemic, I bought this book which is very descriptive of mannerisms and explains how you should address an email to your boss and what kind of utensils to use for each occasion. 10/10

I really enjoyed reading this book. It covers all the basics of our day to day situations. It is simply written, with humor, and to the point. I do very much appreciate the conciseness (outline style) of this book since I hate wasting my time reading run ons. I especially enjoyed the author's personal touch of adding short little stories from her own life throughout the book. Happy with my purchase and highly recommend.

Practical little guide for etiquette in today's technology driven society, and advice on more traditional activities as well. It serves well as a quick reference guide, but should not replace a more classical work on etiquette.

The book is amazing! It is very well written with valuable information. I use it often. Also, I purchased it for college students with autism who need this type of information and tips for social situations. It is a must-read!

Good
