Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Mind Your Manners.

I wasn't familiar with the author or aware she had her own show on Netflix.

The title and summary is what caught my eye.

I'm an introvert and I'm looking for methods in how to improve my social skills interacting in a professional or unfamiliar setting.

The author splits the book into five main microcultures in our lives and provides FAQs and social and digital etiquette tips in each category.

I personally enjoyed the authors personal stories and anecdotes on how to apply these skills to everyday life, accounting for social and cultural cues and contexts.

The writing is comfortable, the tone not preachy, but honest and straight forward.

Being more mindful of how you speak to your friends, family, and colleagues just doesn't benefit everyone in your social circle, but you as well since it makes you more self aware of your speech, tone, and body language.

Mind Your Manners is a modern day etiquette guide. I really appreciated the chapters on digital etiquette because this is a new area of rules. Additionally, I enjoyed the sections on food and travel. Throughout the book there are several really good practical tips. I also appreciated the international perspective with examples from the US, China and Europe.

My main challenge with the book is that it is written for a very specific audience: heterosexual women between the ages of 18-35. Queer individuals are not mentioned or considered in this book. In today's culture there are so many diverse lifestyles and it is so important (and polite!) to make sure that all feel included.

Thank you to Hachette Books and Netgalley for an Advanced Reader Copy of this manuscript in exchange for an honest review.

This book is full of useful information for every day life! There are chapters on social, work, family, relationships and traveling/food. I learned so much and will definitely keep this as a reference to look at.
