How
To Be A Gentleman: A Contemporary Guide to
Common
Courtesy
Price: $14.99
By John Bridges
In a world of cellular phones, express lanes,
and business lunches, being a gentleman seems
to be
more and more complicated. Gentlemanly behavior,
says John Bridges, is not about do's and don'ts
but about common sense and courtesy.
A gentleman
does not use his cellular phone during a concert,
nor does he borrow more money than he can afford
to pay back. He always puts the toilet seat
down.
He asks for directions when he is lost, and he
knows
how to order a bottle of wine.
A gentleman
never
makes himself the center of attention. His goal
is to make life easier, not just for himself
but
for his friends, his acquaintances, and the world
at large. How To Be A Gentleman is a book for
men
that combines Emily Post and Miss Manners without
being snobbish, boring or intimidating. Good
manners
means thinking of others, being there when you
are needed, and getting out of the way the rest
of the
time.
This book makes it easy to be a gentleman.
