GUIDE TO MODERN MANNERS (SCHOOL OF LIFE) (PB)

Modern life is full of minor, acute dilemmas. We get stuck with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move away without causing offence; forget someone’s name when introducing them; run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; spill wine on a host’s sofa. This book features twenty case studies of common social dilemmas and our possible responses to them, contributing to a new and original philosophy of graceful conduct.
