Manners That Matter Most is a great little book that lays out the basics of grace, etiquette, and good manners in one beautiful package.

Recommended by The New York Times!

Etiquette is one of the most

valuable assets a person can have- knowing how best to present yourself, and how

to deal with others in a direct, effective manner, is paramount in all personal,

professional, and social relationships. Manners That Matter Most seeks to

resurrect the bygone customs of good manners and graceful style; all while

updating and applying them to the modern age.

Covering topics from

introductions, greetings and thank-you's, to the etiquette of modern technology

(including appropriate places and times to call and text), Manners That Matter

Most is a valuable resource and a much-needed guide in our fast-paced world.

Suitable for all readers in all social situations, Manners That Matter Most contains both the information and the support you need to gain and give more

consideration in your social encounters. With an emphasis on graciousness and

chivalry that lends the book its authoritative tone, Manners That Matter Most is

the essential companion for anyone looking to put their best foot forward in any

situation.

Manners That Matter Most also

includes-
* Inspirational quotes on the

importance of courtesy, respect and dignity
* The 25 essential lessons

everyone should learn to cultivate better manners
* Tips for more effective

communication with family, friends and co-workers

Manners That Matter Most takes an

old subject and presents it in a fresh and accessible way, as it reminds us why

good practice in etiquette not only makes the practitioner look good, but

enhances society as a whole. With Manners That Matter Most, the world opens

up-and you know just what to say.

Reviews for Manners That Matter Most: The Easy Guide to Etiquette At Home and In the World

"""...an excellent little book. Manners and Etiquette sound old fashioned nowadays. And in a way, they are, it is. Because we’re a mess now. The lack thereof is epidemic and the result is we aren’t relating to each other as easily as strangers might/should/could/would. I know a book isn’t going to make the difference. I don’t know what will. But it is clear to me at this late age that I’ve only got along in this life with the basics that we call Manners and Etiquette. It’s the only way we can all get along. Eding’s book is comprehensive, serious, easy to read, and actually inspiring on a certain level. "" -- David Patrick Columbia, New York Social Diary"
