Nearly every man wants to be a gentleman. He may not know exactly what that means, but his true desire is to be respected and admired in the way only a gentleman can be. He wants to be prepared and confident, certain that his judgment is shrewd and his behavior appropriate. A gentleman considers the weight of his words and the impression he is leaving.

Now, in Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most amazing discovery: we are "wired to connect", designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a "neural ballet" that connects us, brain to brain, with those around us.

A long list of disjointed rules. Very basic.

What disappointed you about Modern Scholar: On Your Best Behavior?

Two things: one, it's extremely basic -- it's like etiquette for cavemen. You'll hear pearls like "don't touch a pregnant woman's stomach" and "it's okay to open the door for a pregnant woman without asking her for permission." Two, worst of all, there are no _principles_ given, it's merely a list of disjointed "things one should do". There is nothing in the way of "it's your duty to maintain the good mood of your guests, even if you are in severe discomfort yourself, because of reasons x, y and z". For a $40 (!) "book", this is just ridiculous.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Something else on etiquette, specifically in business.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I think it's the author reading. He's ok, but not professional.

Not worth the time to download.

Performance and substance were very disappointing. Not a worthwhile download if you are looking for a good modern scholar book.

Very informal etiquette info

This is not what I had hoped it would be. Very basic, everyday, not formal dinner etiquette etc.

Common sense

To me it was common sense, but to many, this could be a lot of new things people were not taught growing up.
