{"product_id":"choosing-civility","title":"Choosing Civility","description":"Most people would agree that thoughtful behavior and common decency are in short supply, or simply forgotten in hurried lives of emails, cellphones, and multi-tasking. In Choosing Civility, P. M. Forni identifies the twenty-five rules that are most essential in connecting effectively and happily with others. In clear, witty, and, well...civilized language, Forni covers topics that include:\n\n* Think Twice Before Asking Favors\n* Give Constructive Criticism\n* Refrain from Idle Complaints\n* Respect Others' Opinions\n* Don't Shift Responsibility and Blame\n* Care for Your Guests\n* Accept and Give Praise\n\nFinally, Forni provides examples of how to put each rule into practice and so make life-and the lives of others-more enjoyable, companionable, and rewarding.\n\nChoosing Civility is a simple, practical, perfectly measured, and quietly magical handbook on the lost art of civility and compassion.\n\n“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\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312302509\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0312302509.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Forni, P.
