Golden Rules from the World's Most Glamorous Zip Code

De: Lisa Gache

Narrado por: Jorjeana Marie

In Beverly Hills, fame and wealth can buy everything except class, grace, and sophistication. In Beverly Hills Manners, Lisa Gache offers a behind-the-scenes look at the unique social dilemmas of the residents of the hills of Beverly through the eyes of an etiquette expert tasked with transforming her awkward, boorish, and sometimes challenging clients into social virtuosos. From Saudi princesses to Oscar winners, talent agents to intelligence operatives, child actresses, butlers, and football players, Lisa has amassed an astounding roster. She’s taught Oscar nominees how to successfully navigate the red carpet, sorority girls to use forks and knives, and NFL coaches to shake hands. In this book, she reflects on those experiences to teach you how to present yourself as a respectable professional in real-world situations. Beverly Hills Manners covers more than just table manners. It includes advice on what Lisa calls Child Wrangling “laying down the law as parents when it comes to cliques, bullying, and cattiness and netiquette, a vital new discipline in tune with every type of social media. You’ll also learn how to gracefully conduct yourself during life’s most trying moments, such as comforting a friend on the loss of a loved one or agreeing to help a family member who may be down on his luck.

Thorough and exceptionally practical

Well written, comprehensive and relevant - this book also me laugh and consider what I really find to be important in life. If you want a fluffy niche vanity tutorial do not read this. But if you want a superbly crafted, current life guide then you're in luck.

Perfect graduation gift!

I help college students and grads get their first jobs and internships in entertainment and I’m going to recommend this to all of my clients. Great dining and relationship building advice.

very entertaining

I listened over and over again, purchased paperbacks and gifted to my kids, loved it!

Laugh out loud and great tips on manners

This is an entertaining manners book. You don’t have to live in Beverly Hills to appreciate the amusing moments. Practical advice for every occasion whether interviewing for a job or meeting the parents. I’ve used it to prepare for a date and practice walking in high heels.

A Fun Way to Learn Etiquette

I loved this audiobook - it was witty, informative, and succinct. I haven't made it through other etiquette books, because I get bored halfway through. This one was fun and engaging - I binged it!

Lovely

Great book, really clear an clean, it takes you with a wonderful rhythm from the start to the end.

Necessary for everyone!

Love this book - I have lived in Beverly Hills and have worked in film since 1990. Insightful, accurate, interesting, and helpful for everyone

WASTE OF MONEY

Silly...waste of time and money. I stopped listening after 2nd chapter.
"Sit up straight" DUH! How to walk in heels...another DUH! Different types of handshakes etc.....

Sexist

Telling people to address males and females differently, telling males and females to behave differently, is backwards and sexist. Males can walk “like women” if they want, females can walk “like men” if they want, and anyone who would hold it against them deserves no regard. Letting gender affect introductions is just wrong. Also, it’s simply offensive to say that males should not spend time on their appearances. Everyone should pay more attention to grooming, especially males, who have centuries of permitted ugliness to make up for.

Couldn’t finish it

The narrator’s pacing made the book very hard to follow, and the content itself was very superficial.
