How Rude!

Ever seethed in silent indignation over someone’s rude behavior at your local Starbucks? Blood boils, hackles rise and resentment builds faster than latte foam- but, author P.M. Forney has a solution. Be civil. In his new book, “The Civility Solution”, Forney breaks down aggravating scenarios with family, co-workers, other people’s bratty children and even strangers to illustrate how to respond courteously. Can society actually become more civil person by person or is it just wishful thinking?

P.M. Forney, Author of “The Civility Solution: What to Do When People Are Rude”
