Today’s world is in a state of constant change. But one thing remains year after year: the necessity for good etiquette. This 19th edition of Emily Post’s Etiquette offers insight and wisdom on a variety of new topics and fresh advice on classic conundrums, including: • Social media • Living with neighbors • Networking and job seeking • Office issues • Sports and recreation • Entertaining at home and celebrations • Weddings • Invitations • Loss, grieving, and condolences • Table manners While they offer useful information on the practical—from table settings and introductions to thank-you notes and condolences, the Posts make it clear why good etiquette matters. Etiquette is a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others, they remind us. Ultimately, being considerate, respectful, and honest is what’s really important in building positive relationships. “Please” and “thank you” do go a long way, and whether it’s a handshake, a hug, or a friend request, it’s the underlying sincerity and good intentions behind any action that matter most.
