Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ![]() ![]() This monster is 900 pages of everything you need to know from the late 19th C. to 2004, the year it was published. In fairness, deletions of many former customs no longer part of our modern world have been removed. But unfortunately, how Ms. Post plans to keep up with our ever-increasing rate of change will make the next volume potentially part obsolete before it publishes, for our pace of change has become exponential. No matter, I sometimes am surprised how often I check the book concerning handling an old traditional function to see if any technology has altered its usual method. Not the dinosaur you'd think, Peggy Post’s “Emily Post’s Etiquette“, specifically the introduction - A Note to Readers and Part One - Everyday Etiquette are a must read. No - I’m really not suggesting you need to read and follow 847 pages of detailed advice on manners, but in a time where an ‘everything goes’ attitude combined with the stultification of political correctness has led us to a point where what we say and do is governed more by an intolerance for ideological diversity than by kindness and common sense - the book provides a roadmap back to civility. From the introduction: "Etiquette must be active. It isn’t enough to now what to do. Courtesy matters only when it is translated into everyday behavior - not just put on for show when it’s convenient. The rewards of an active commitment to everyday courtesy are myriad, though not often tangible. There are also important personal rewards that some peopel may not even be aware of, including the self-confidence that comes from knowing what to do in new or difficult situations; a positive reputation with others; and personal relationships that are more congenial, even in times of stress, because the people involved treat one another with respect.” nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
