Good book, with several great lessons. I see myself holding onto the book and rereading again in the futureMy small concern is that I feel some of the lessons are slipping out of touch with modern society, or apply for people who are in a better financial position then I am. As a 26 year old, when I have dinner parties I don't see myself making multiple courses, or having a potluck in Martha's vineyard where dinner is cooked over cannon balls. I also don't have the wardrobe that is needed to fit in most social situations, but like any book, take it with a grain of salt and apply a little bit of yourself to the situation.
I bought this for my 20- something son. it succeeds in being non threatening, conversational, but quite comprehensive. it constantly refers to a survey of women and their expectations of men, which gives it a more objective air.not too long. Recommended.
I purchased this book as a gift for my grandson upon his graduation from 8th grade. (I also got him a desk/work station so I'm not THAT geeky!) I read parts of the book before giving it to him, however. For the most part, it contains helpful information and good advice that EVERY MAN should know but is sorely lacking in many adult men and most young adult men that I've encountered. Mostly, it reminds us that manners and etiquette are designed to make a person more comfortable in any given situation because it offers guidance on how to act and what to do around others so they are also comfortable and feel respected. Open doors for women and elderly, put the toilet seat down, clean up after yourself, etc. Also good advice on how to be a family man/father. When dealing with dating and women, however, it uses the "Significant Other" approach rather than spouse or girlfriend. It tells a guy to keep his living quarters clean and neat, especially his bathroom and bedroom, because "You never know when a date may wind up back at your place for the evening/night." If you do not condone this type of activity, you will need to have a discussion with the young adult to reinforce your family's morals/standards. Otherwise, good information.
This book was interesting to me because of the source and my recent exposure to etiquette lessons. The book is very relatable as a man, and very clear.The author wrote it in a manner that any man who is conscious of proper behavior can relate to. And it it is very pertinent and easy to follow.This book will be helpful in your relationships with all the ladies in your life. From your daughter to your mother-in-law.
I bought this book for two high school graduates. It is my hope that they will of course read this! My intention was to give them some forward thinking...the tools they may not have heard from their own parents, teachers etc. I want them to succeed and knowing how to carry yourself through adult life with masculine grace is a gift in it's self, to the self. I also included "Thank you" note cards with the book........I have not received one yet 😉
This was a graduation gift for an 18 year old. Although he frowned when he opened it, I saw him sneaking a peak at the content later. There IS hope! All the things young men should know but were afraid to ask. A modern approach to manners, including mobile phone etiquette.
Written more for awkward men than for someone trying to polish their image.
I gave this book to my 12 year old boy. I bought it as I feel that manners are not being taught at home or at school. Although some manners are a little too posh for today, I feel that most are important and will definitely help my son whether he uses them in business functions/work or communicating to a mate.
