Meier, cofounder of the Plaza Hotel’s Finishing Program in New York City, maintains that etiquette is more important now than ever before. Rather than simply listing the rules for which fork to use (though these details are thoroughly covered), the author concentrates on how to become more poised and polished, attract people, exude confidence, thrive socially, and practice positivity daily. Meier reviews everything from posture and handshakes to body language and conversation. Color photographs and examples facilitate learning the lessons.

VERDICT An optimal choice for readers looking to add that finishing touch to their own grace and style.
