George Washington's 110 Rules for Today

With advice for handling conflict, managing stress, and promoting respect, this book is for anyone longing for a more civil world. Rudeness. Crudeness. Thoughtlessness. Hostility. Uncivilized behavior is everywhere. We all recognize how much happier we'd be if the prevailing culture were a civil one. Sometimes, in order to move forward, we need to take a long look back. At the age of fourteen, George Washington wrote 110 guidelines to cultivate civility and orient himself toward others, which he called Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation. In this book author Steven Selzer examines and expands on Washington's rules, proving they're still as necessary today as they were 250 years ago. With subjects ranging from media literacy to choosing friends to nail biting, the principles and proposals in Civility will enable readers to better handle interpersonal conflicts, conduct business, manage everyday stress with grace, and treat their fellow citizens with more respect.

The 110 Rules George Washington Lived By

"George-isms" (also known as "The 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour)" is a text that George Washington wrote down when he was fourteen years old and used as a touchstone all his life. Now, George Washington's one-hundred-ten rules are reprinted and handily "translated" into modern language that any young reader can understand.

As a moral compass; as a glimpse of history; or as a peek into the mind of our Founding Father, "George-isms" is a book that no young American should be without.

With the entire nation screaming for a return to civility, Miss Manners, the highest authority, takes matters into her own properly gloved hands and puts etiquette where it belongs on the public agenda. Miss Manners Rescues Civilization is a wise, witty and startling examination of how the breakdown of eti quette is contributing to the disintegration of our society.

Even the government finds itself battered by our national epidemic of rudeness, yet the very politicians who cry loudest for civility fail to understand the roots of the problem. Using a combination of essays and answers to her Gen- tle Readers' questions, Miss Manners examines society's ever-rising level of irritation, from the classroom to the caucus room. She shows the crucial role of etiquette in such contemporary issues as political correctness, multiculturalism, sexual harassment, educational failure and freedom of speech.

Miss Manners leads the charge toward a liv- able future rather than a return to the etiquette of past eras. But calling for civility without eti- quette is like asking for morality without law, she says. Idealists who mistakenly reject eti- quette as snobbish, repressive and dishonest fail to understand that manners form the philo- sophical basis for civilized life. As society's common language of behavior, manners have always functioned as the modest partner of morality to protect the dignity of everyone, especially society's less powerful members.

A Manifesto for the Workplace

"The most useful, well-written, and emotionally compelling business book I have read in years. I couldn't put it down." - Robert I. Sutton, Stanford Professor and author of The No Asshole Rule "A must-read for every leader in their field." - Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human Incivility is silently chipping away at people, organizations, and our economy. Slights, insensitivities, and rude behaviors can cut deeply. Moreover, incivility hijacks focus. Even if people want to perform well, they can't. Customers too are less likely to buy from a company with an employee who is perceived as rude. Ultimately, incivility cuts the bottom line. In MASTERING CIVILITY, Christine Porath shows how people can enhance their influence and effectiveness with civility. Combining scientific research with fascinating evidence from popular culture and fields such as neuroscience, medicine, and psychology, this book provides managers and employers with a much-needed wake-up call, while also reminding them of what they can do right now to improve the quality of their workplaces.
