Resumen del Editor

Just step out your door today, and you will notice that poise is a rarity in our wired, fast-paced, and unmannerly world. As uncivil behaviors like flip-flops at Broadway shows and digital oversharing proliferate, this timely book reminds us of the quiet power of behaving with dignity, kindness, and grace.

Jennifer L. Scott's Parisian mentor, Madame Chic, embodied poise and not just with the good posture, stylish attire, and natural manners that made her extraordinarily elegant. She also demonstrated steady assuredness and graceful calm in everything she did, from interacting with her family and receiving guests at home to presenting herself in public. Jennifer passes on the lessons she learned as well as some of her own hard-won wisdom, addressing topics such as proper attire at social events, good grooming, communication skills, hospitality and being a good guest, our interactions with neighbors and strangers, role models, self-discipline, and self-image. This inspiring book, full of practical tips and ideas, is certain to start a new conversation about the timeless art of poise.

Jennifer Scott is an amazing writer. I loved this book as I did the other two I read previously.

Great book. Highly recommend.

I have read this book several times. I'm going to buy the hard copy.

WORTHY of your time!

In a world that is so quickly losing its charm and class, Scott offers easy tips to incorporate poise from being a waitress to a multi millionaire.

topic is worth it, the robotic reader is a pain.

the narrator is very robotic, like mind numbing. if there was a better narrarator, there might be some promise for this book.

Good book but...,

This is the second book that I have listen to from Jennifer L Scott. I love the info and the way she writes is great. But I personally, cannot get past the voice of the narrator
It sounds like Siri is reading you the book in robotic voice

Excellent book; average narration

I absolutely adore Jennifer Scott's books. Her stories of Madame chic and guidelines for living a poised and classy lifestyle are truly inspiring. I was a little disappointed with the narration. It was read very monotone and barely captivated the essence of how Jennifer meant for the book to be expressed. I do wish there was
more emphasis or a little bit more personality to the narration but it grows on you as you get into it. Overall excellent book by an author I will continue to purchase from. Bravo!

Great

As usual Jennifer did a wonderful job in her writing about Madame Chic and lifestyle challenges and changes.
