Reviews

"What I like about this book is not only its practical lessons in daily living the good social life with engagement and joy, but also in reminding us that mannerly citizens constitute the foundation of free societies. Indeed, orderly civil societies cannot exist except as an emergent process from people who create and follow etiquette-full rules based on their respectful treatment of each other. Engage with this book, enjoy, and personally benefit from learning European Style and American Style dining. Feel comfortable, relaxed, and conversational at receptions where you oversee your space, and be at ease in meeting and greeting."
Vernon L. Smith, Chapman University, 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics

"Candace Smith is the New Miss Manners, but her book is better than that. It guides you, it instructs you, it encourages you to learn how to be civilized in the world as it actually is. In business and life you need her book. Lord knows we all need some civility and elegance, instead of our present, chronic lack of simple grace."
Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, Distinguished Fellow, Cato Institute

"A polite world is a better world, and Candace Smith offers wisdom enriching our ability to treat others with courtesy and respect. Politeness is its own virtue; it also distinguishes us and enables personal and professional success. Free markets foster good behavior, so it is fitting that the book includes quotations from proponents of freedom. I was also pleased to see quotations from supporters of animal welfare. As Albert Schweitzer urged, we should extend our "circle of compassion to all living things."
- David E. Shellenberger, professional coach and advocate for international liberty and animal welfare.
