Choosing Civility de P M Forni

Choosing Civility

Autor P M Forni
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2003

Simple, practical, non-confrontational solutions to help navigate conversations with others

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 crucial topics that guide our everyday interactions, including:

- 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 concrete examples of how to put each rule into practice, therefore making 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.

"Insightful meditation on how changing the way we think can improve our daily lives. ... A deft exploration that urges us to think before speaking." -Kirkus, Starred Review
