About this listen

If you have ever felt unsure or uncomfortable when facing a social dilemma, John Bridges answers these questions and more in his classic handbook for men.

The rules were simpler in bygone days, but technological changes have caused seismic shifts to the cultural landscape of 21st century. Do the rules of common courtesy still apply?

Social media and smartphones have shaped communication in unprecedented ways, and increased connection has created a global melting pot. Social norms that were once understood now feel uncertain. How should a sophisticated man conduct himself in the diverse environments he may encounter? How to Be a Gentleman is an indispensable guide for men of all ages who aspire to become gentlemen, including tips and guidelines such as:

  • How to respond to those with whom you disagree
  • When and where it is appropriate to use your cell phone
  • How to dress for various formal events
  • Rules for conducting yourself at the gym
  • How to engage respectfully with different cultural and religious contexts

I thought I was well mannered yet this book taught me so much and has made things a lot less awkward! Table manners, how to set a table, introductions, it all helps!

I loved the whole thing, I now have both versions. There is a point I with to address, or rather to have you address should you ever think of a third incarnation: With regard to gratuities, to wit; there is also the option to only leave a tip for the kitchen staff only if the dining service is less than optimal.

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I am a woman, and I was interested in reading this because I wanted to know what a quality man does regarding manners, and how he carries himself. I was not disappointed. I admire the author and enjoyed the interview with him at the end of the audiobook. The book was also read beautifully. I hope that all men and boys who come across this book take the time to read or listen to it. The world will be a better place. Women will look up to them and admire them and feel comfortable in their presence.

Excellent information for all

The worst

This book will bore you out of your mind with archaic ideas of how to treat other people. Very well-meaning but ultimately fails to get to the heart of anything. a shallow listen that even a talented narrator couldn't bring the life. The last 10 minutes is a conversation with the author and I almost vomited listening to him.

Gain empathy dude.. Stop judging other people. You don't know what people are going through. You don't know why they're acting the way they are. Being a gentleman is giving others the benefit of the doubt even when their behavior isn't ideal.
