Description

Etiquette isn't just something to turn to when we're expected to behave formally, says Patricia Rossi; it exists to ease social tension in daily life and make interactions between people easy, with no ruffled feathers or hurt feelings. The secret to self-confidence is to know and understand the rules of social engagement before you're in the middle of an uncomfortable situation. Rossi, an NBC television network correspondent and the host of the nationally syndicated "Manners Minute" television segment, presents this etiquette guide as an essential, streamlined, easy-to-use resource. She explains how to pick the correct fork or write a thank-you note, how to say "no" to a request for a favor or say the perfect thing at a funeral.
