292 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. "Etiquette, Sara Jane says, is the glue that holds society together. Humans are social creatures, after all--we need connection to survive. But with global cultures in flux and the post-pandemic digital age, the shadow epidemics of anxiety and loneliness are on the rise. Plus, the old rules of "decorum" don't match the times. Amidst all this withdrawal and change, social growth can feel out of reach. How do we leave the comfort of our homes, step away from our screens, and interact face to face? How do we create genuine bonds with people we've just met, and how do we maintain those ties throughout our lives? Even the most resilient social butterflies among us face sticky situations--from accidentally-sent invites to unruly work and family encounters--any advice would help. In her signature, cheeky yet pragmatic style, Sara Jane imparts a lifetime's worth of lessons, pro-tips, and FAQs on social and digital etiquette across the five main microcultures in our lives: Friendship & Social Life, Work, Dating & Relationships, Family, and Food & Travel. From jumping everyday hurdles to discerning unspoken, cross-cultural cues, Mind Your Manners helps us feel the joy and transformation of social fluency--that deep comfort that comes from connection, inclusion, and presenting our best self in any situation" Introduction – Part One: Social life and Friendship – Part Two: Work – Part Three: Dating and Relationships – Part Four: Family – Part Five: Food and travel – Epilogue – Acknowledgements Sara Jane Ho.
