Sarah Kaufman offers an old-fashioned cure for a modern-day ailment. The remedy for our culture of coarseness is grace-forgetting ourselves, being attentive to others, and approaching our encounters with the effortlessness that comes from being at ease in the world. This is an elegant, compelling, and, yes, graceful book. -- Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind Part love letter, part cultural commentary, and wholly a joyous exploration of the essential trait of grace, from ancient Greece to the golden age of Hollywood. -- Arianna Huffington, editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and author of Thrive Sarah Kaufman has nailed it: she has detected precisely what it is that has changed us so for the worse... Her book is itself most graceful, and ever knowing. -- Frank Deford, author of Alex: A Child This is a truly eloquent book on moving and communicating with eloquence. Sarah Kaufman paints a charming, dignified portrait of a lost art. -- Adam Grant, Wharton professor and author of Give and Take As a dance photographer, I have considered myself an expert on the art of grace. Not anymore. Sarah Kaufman has set the gold standard by which I will judge all future subjects. -- Jordan Matter, photographer and author of Dancers Among Us
