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.
- 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
