Choosing Civility

The Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct

Audiobook
2 of 3 copies available
Most people would agree that thoughtful behavior and common decency are
in short supply, or simply forgotten in hurried lives of emails,
cellphones, and multi-tasking. In Choosing Civility, P. M. Forni
identifies the twenty-five rules that are most essential in connecting
effectively and happily with others. In clear, witty, and,
well...civilized language, Forni covers topics that include:
  • Think Twice Before Asking Favors
  • Give Constructive Criticism
  • Refrain from Idle Complaints
  • Respect Others' Opinions
  • Don't Shift Responsibility and Blame
  • Care for Your Guests
  • Accept and Give Praise
  • Finally,
    Forni provides examples of how to put each rule into practice and so
    make life—and the lives of others—more enjoyable, companionable, and
    rewarding.
    Choosing Civility is a simple, practical, perfectly measured, and quietly magical handbook on the lost art of civility and compassion.
