The book is super cute and the size is perfect for my handbag. I have not finished reading it yet, but so far I’m loving it!!! I like the colorful pictures and all the tips for different settings you might encounter in the real world. The author is extensively educated on this subject and to top it off, she even went to the famous Swiss Finishing School which is like the holy grail of etiquette training (we’re talking many weeks of intensive schooling & even having to live on site!). I’ve always been interested in etiquette and manners, not to mention that we can all polish ourselves from time to time, and I have to say that this is the best book I’ve encountered on the subject. I’ve read other books of this kind at the library over the years, but nothing compares to this lovely book. I have disagreed with some other etiquette books because some of the advice was either outdated or just plain boring and/or ridiculous. Yet I find myself agreeing with just about everything in this book (smile!) — it’s like the fresh breath of air that was needed on this subject because it is so relatable!!! Besides it is a fun read and the author herself seems like a very interesting and charming person. I will update my review once I’m done reading (I’m half-way). Definitely one for the coffee table great read!!!
Lovely book ! I have been upgrading my lifestyle & working on improving myself for awhile now . This book is exactly what I was searching for , I enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it and use it . Excited for the business edition!!!
Received this little gem just in time to read on a short trip. It is designed well, organized, quick read and I am so happy I can read the font without any glasses. Lightweight, attractive and contains practical advice for everyday living. I can only hope this is read by all as so many lack any etiquette today . Great gift for graduates, showers and anyone joining the work force #rebootcharmschool Well done Mika
This is a wonderfully and articulately written book with the purpose of etiquette but embodies kindness, respect and the skills to be aware of yourself and others in any social setting. The author is clearly an expert and her positive energy comes through across the pages. Excellent. I think this is a book for all people regardless of gender, social class or profession. I think this is a great guide for those 11 and up and for parents with children too in order to mirror these life skills. So impressed.
I enjoyed the biography at the beginning. She shares personal experiences which we can all relate to. Lots of tips and information on improving yourself and helping to build your confidence in various situations. It flows easily and doesn’t get caught up in minutiae. I’ll use this as a reference guide in the future.
Love this book! Written in a very relatable style. Definitely not your “ old fashion” etiquette. I have already picked up so many ideas that I know will give me more confidence in my every day life. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for ways to gain confidence, and self esteem.
Myka is an absolute angel and carries genuine passion throughout each of her words. Her background is absolutely inspiring and “made easy” is absolutely true because she breaks many things down and simplifies them with detail. Buying this book was one of the best ways to start 2020 and if you’re looking for self improvement or just to sharpen your skills, this is the book for you. Even the basic tips, I chose to highlight in my book because repetition is a major key and there’s plenty of information I will repeat till it’s built into my subconscious naturally. I love Myka and will always support her and any information she puts out because I know it comes from a good place. Her heart and her energy makes me want to be a better person.
Love the format and information in this charming book of everyday etiquette suitable for everyone. Although Myka Meier is clearly a millennial, she had a broad perspective and clearly knows how to appeal across generations. I am a “woman of a certain age” and I constantly learn from her expertise. Kudos Myka…Well Done! |
