50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know Revised and Expanded: What to Do, When to Do It, and Why (The GentleManners Series) Kindle Edition

Required reading for every teen/child in America. Please. And honestly, by the interviews I do, college students as well. Why on earth are people now so clueless on basics of interacting appropriately with others? I have interviewed so many college grads, 200k degree in hand, who don't know how to make an introduction, place a phone call, greet others, say thank you, what topics to avoid, the list goes on. But, this little book is the beginning of a new person in all of us. Read it. Volunteer at the local elementary/jr high/ high school and teach these lessons. Before we all live in a toxic, ugly world. 50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know holds the key to a happier, better community.

Bought this for my 15 year old son, and he rolled his eyes. However, I have found it on his night stand, and strangely enough, I think he has been reading it as he does say and do something a bit different. We need more gentleman in the world today. The only way to get men who are gentleman is to get boys who are gentleman. This book is not outdated, as the principles of acting right are always relevant.

This is a nice book for a young man to have on hand. It provides some good advice without being preachy. It's straight forward and easy to read format.It covers things such as:How to accept a compliment.How to give a compliment.Shaking someone's hand.How to introduce someone.There are things it doesn't cover, obviously. But it covers a lot and it's enough for a young man who might want to improve himself or is open to correction and willing to do things better.I would suggest that it's too basic for an 18 year old. I gave it to my fifteen year old with the thought that if he can drive, he can start to have some more manners (He's already a pretty good kid) and learn to behave more properly.Because it's not judgy or preachy I think he was willing to read it and found it useful.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone that has a young son or grandson. It addresses a lot of subjects and if followed will teach every young man how to become a gentleman. This was recommended by someone and I ordered for my grandson. I was very pleased with the content and believe that it has made a difference.

The book arrived in pristine condition which i appreciate highly. It is geared more towards younger boys than I was hoping. More of middle school/young high school. Some design choices are odd and can break up the flow of the chapters but it reads well. There are plenty of examples, reads conversationally, and is accurate in all respects. For a beginner's guide, it does well. Though I do say it lacks compared to the female version (I bought and read both as it is wise to understand both sides in order to play your own part well). All in all, as a starter guide for the intended age group, it does very well. When I allocate more funds to my self-improvement budget, I will be researching the rest of their books for more advanced teachings.

I bought this book for my ten year old. I feel like a broken record sometimes and I’m sure it gets old having every instance made into a lesson so I figured to give this book a try. The chapters are short but give the “Do’s and Don’ts” and some practical solutions to situations. It’s good to read one section at a time and then implement. Some of the sections are basic but good reminders and, like it said, it’s not just coming from “mom” anymore.

I'm an early 40's childless woman dating a recently divorced man with two teenagers. Shoot. Me. Now.I'll tell you if I acted the way his teenagers do, my parents would've knocked me into next week. There would be NO texting at the dinner table; NO sight of poor manners; and certainly NO entitled attitude in my childhood household. I'm bewildered that his kids act with such disrespect, because their father is such a sweet and kind man.His 14 year old son clearly has some discipline and boundary issues; especially issues with respecting privacy and knocking on doors. So, thank goodness there is a chapter in this book covering boundaries. John Bridges, thank you so much for this! I hope after his son reads this book, he will realize how his behavior reflects not only on him, but us as parental figures (wishful thinking). We know he's a smart kid; but I can't wait until his frontal lobe closes and maturity kicks in...Bless those of you with teenagers. I feel your pain. Great book!

It is great to have this book handy for a teen boy.Before one school concert, my son and I were arguing what to do with his tie, he pulled this book out, and showed me the pictures.I can imagine he also learns other things from this book, which I do not have time to teach or am not an expert on.

I check this nearly everyday so handy

A bit old fashioned but that's not a bad thing. Great advice for all young gentlemen to be. Arrived very quickly.

I like the size of the book and the design at all. But it's more for teens or maybe a little bit younger?The stuff is very basic, which is very normal for me, but maybe there is someone out there, who didn't know a lot of these.So you can learn a little bit from it.

I myself think that manners are really important and recently thought, that I would polish up mine by buying this book and try to implement the ones in this book into my dayly life. Turn out, the manners in this book are in my opinion common behavior and less gentleman "rules" it tries to teach kids how to be nice to each other. Out of the 50 chapter there might have been 5 chapter which I thought were also interesting for me. I am 19 and consider myself to be young, so...

I love it , it's amazing book , you needed to have in your personal librery, super nice , thanks so much for read my comment
