Ep. 103: RelationShift: Practicing Politeness with Mister Manners

Thomas P. Farley is an etiquette expert whom you may recognize from ‘The Today Show’ or ‘Dr. Oz.’ He’s earned the moniker “Mister Manners” for helping us navigate modern-day issues with communication & respect.

Etiquette doesn’t just dictate which fork to use or when to send an invite. It gives people a playbook for how to behave in unfamiliar situations, preventing us from having to feel silly for doing the wrong thing.

Mister Manners says it’s also about making a habit of respecting others—strangers, co-workers, & even our own spouses. As we grow comfortable with our partners relationship etiquette can dwindle to the point of nonexistence. A husband failing to open a door for his wife may not send her packing, but disparaging your spouse in front of others is a huge faux pas in relationship etiquette.

Expectations of politeness have changed for both women & men in the twenty-first century. Can chivalry & feminism coexist? Mister Manners says, “yes!” He tells us how, & so much more.
