"Essential Manners for Men" helps men make the right decisions about what to do and say in every situation that counts. Peter Post, great-grandson of Emily Post, distills the essential information men need for all the important roles they play in life.

Organized into three parts -- "Daily Life," "Social Life," and "On the Job" -- "Essential Manners for Men" resolves situations that can stump even the savviest. Peter Post's advice is sharp-witted and sensible, with tips, boxes, and candid anecdotes about his own etiquette blunders. Topics include:

The most important behaviors to avoid and emulate at the gym, at work, on the golf course, at home, out with friends, at a business social event, and a child's ball game

Tipping, driver's "ed-iquette," introductions, sportsmanship, and parenting

Successfully sharing living spaces with a roommate, significant other, or spouse -- from the toilet seat to the remote control to the kitchen sink

How to throw a great party or be the perfect guest

How to successfully navigate the business dinner

Things men do wrong that make women wince, and things men do right that women love

The five-step process to resolve any situation where there is no etiquette "rule"

Short and shoot-from-the-hip honest, "Essential Manners for Men" is a book no man can afford to be without.
