Essential Manners for Men helps men make the right decisions about what to do and say in every situation that counts. Peter Post, great-grandson of Emily Post, distills the essential information men need for all the important roles they play in life.
Organized into three parts -- "Daily Life," "Social Life," and "On the Job" -- Essential Manners for Men resolves situations that can stump even the savviest. Peter Post's advice is sharp-witted and sensible, with tips, boxes, and candid anecdotes about his own etiquette blunders. Topics include:
<ul>
<li>The most important behaviors to avoid and emulate at the gym, at work, on the golf course, at home, out with friends, at a business social event, and a child's ball game</li>
<li>Tipping, driver's "ed-iquette," introductions, sportsmanship, and parenting</li>
<li> Successfully sharing living spaces with a roommate, significant other, or spouse -- from the toilet seat to the remote control to the kitchen sink</li>
<li> How to throw a great party or be the perfect guest</li>
<li> How to successfully navigate the business dinner</li>
<li> Things men do wrong that make women wince, and things men do right that women love</li>
<li> The five-step process to resolve any situation where there is no etiquette "rule"</li>
</ul>
Short and shoot-from-the-hip honest, Essential Manners for Men is a book no man can afford to be without.

From the man who closed the lid forever on the "toilet seat debate" in the New York Times bestseller Essential Manners for Men comes the follow-up book that paves the way for couples everywhere to fix relationship problems before they start.
Peter Post offers the secrets to a long and happy marriage or partnership—without psychoanalysis or prescription medication. The good news: often just a few simple words or actions can mend a rift. Essential Manners for Couples reveals how easy it can be to keep the spark in your relationship.
With self-deprecating humor, clarity, and wit, Peter recounts couples' most mischievous manners foibles (his own included). Essential Manners for Couples is based on Emily Post Institute surveys, Peter's years of fielding thousands of etiquette questions, popular demand from couples attending his national lectures and workshops, and his experience as a husband and father.
Peter looks at couples' private lives and public lives, revealing the common "flashpoints"—the places, situations, and times when inconsiderate behavior is most likely to invade your blissful coupledom. He offers "etiquette imperatives"—simple truths and concise nuggets of advice not to be ignored, including:
<ul>
<li>Permissive flirting: How to define parameters and enjoy verbal combat with the opposite sex.</li>
<li>The "Chore I.Q." test—are you really divvying up the workload fairly?</li>
<li>When you hate her friends: socializing with the enemy.</li>
<li>Enter children: Good parents still spend time together as a couple.</li>
<li>Bedroom etiquette—getting beyond the headache excuse.</li>
<li>Interactions with in-laws—smooth merge or crash and burn?</li>
<li>Where to go for the holidays: surviving family visits and how to say "no."</li>
<li>Balancing life with your other significant other—your work ... and much more.</li>
</ul>
Essential Manners for Couples is a must-have resource for the couple who wants to celebrate their union and strengthen it. As Peter Post says, "By using the principles of etiquette, couples can avoid many of the potholes on the road of their shared life, and the ones they do hit are smaller and more manageable." With this book in hand, you'll enhance your relationship, head off hostilities, and have fun doing it.

There's a social aspect to golf that's unique to the sport. It's the only sport where you're building relationships at the same time that you're trying to play your best and win—and maybe close a business deal. While the rules of golf are clearly defined, the etiquette of golf is less codified. Making the wrong move can cause annoyance, errors in play, or even injury—all things your fellow golfers won't forget.
Now bestselling etiquette authority and passionate golfer Peter Post explains what seasoned golfers and newcomers need to know to handle every situation with total confidence. Based on Emily Post Institute surveys on golfers' most annoying incidents on the course, Peter addresses:
<ul>
<li>How to deal with the biggest frustration in golf—slow play.</li>
<li>What to do if you break the cardinal rule of never being late.</li>
<li>When is a "gimme" acceptable?</li>
<li>The difference between friendly play and tournament play.</li>
<li>Dealing with sandbaggers and other cheats.</li>
<li>Do's and don'ts when playing for "a little something."</li>
</ul>
Peter Post's useful tips on the subtleties of the game—such as how and when to offer advice, strategies for speeding up play, and "piniquette"—will help longtime golfers be better companions on the course. New golfers unsure of the unwritten social rules of golf will find all the information they need to avoid embarrassment. Packed with true stories from golfers about best moments and worst behavioral blunders on the course—ranging from the sandbagger who cheated himself out of an eagle to a wardrobe malfunction that gave new meaning to the term "You're out"—this book is for anyone who appreciates the spirit of the game.
