I know a book isn’t going to make the  difference. I don’t know what will. But it is clear to me at this late  age that I’ve only got along in this life with the basics that we call  Manners and Etiquette. It’s the only way we can all get along. Eding’s book is comprehensive,  serious, easy to read, and actually inspiring on a certain level. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e-- David Patrick Columbia, New York Social Diary\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eJune Eding\u003c\/b\u003e is an accomplished writer having authored a number of books such as \u003ci\u003eWho Was Queen Elizabeth?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Little Book of Love\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Thank You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSnow Magic\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Trooper's Triumphs\u003c\/i\u003e.

As we go through our days, the simple practice of showing kindness to each other, like saying “please” and “thank you,” showing up on time, and getting back to someone promptly, goes a long way. Good manners help us make a good impression, provide us with structure and reassurance, and help us get through life’s rough spots with aplomb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal of good manners is not perfection. In fact, good manners guide us when we do something wrong or when things don’t turn out as planned. When it’s time to make an apology, good manners help us communicate sincerely. When someone else is rude to us, being polite helps us handle the situation so it doesn’t get worse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe all make mistakes, and life is unpredictable. When life throws us a curveball, good manners make the ups and downs easier to handle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Excerpt from the Introduction","brand":"Hatherleigh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303300845797,"sku":"NP9781578268160","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781578268160.jpg?v=1767732223","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/manners-that-matter-most-isbn-9781578268160","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
