Produktbeschreibung

Most people would agree that thoughtful behavior and common decency are in short supply, or simply forgotten in hurried lives of emails, cellphones, and multi-tasking. In Choosing Civility, P. M. Forni identifies the twenty-five rules that are most essential in connecting effectively and happily with others. In clear, witty, and, well...civilized language, Forni covers topics that include: Think Twice Before Asking FavorsGive Constructive CriticismRefrain from Idle ComplaintsRespect Others' OpinionsDon't Shift Responsibility and BlameCare for Your Guests Accept and Give PraiseFinally, Forni provides examples of how to put each rule into practice and so make life--and the lives of others--more enjoyable, companionable, and rewarding. Choosing Civility is a simple, practical, perfectly measured, and quietly magical handbook on the lost art of civility and compassion.
