When author Steven Selzer was researching the subject of civility, he found that George Washington had written 110 rules of civility and decent behavior at the age of fourteen. Although these guidelines are more than 250 years old, they are still relevant in today’s society. By George! Mr. Washington’s Guide to Civility Today presents the 110 rules with engaging and conversational commentary after each rule, describing how it can be applied in modern life. The tips and principles in By George! are useful for handling interpersonal conflicts, conducting business, and managing everyday stress with grace and civility.
