“Twenty-five clear, achievable goals in leading a civil life. Dr. Forni's voice is much needed and his practical advice is helpful in navigating both personal and professional worlds. WWDFD - always ask, "What would Dr. Forni do?"”

“When I'm feeling "mean-spirited" this little gem of a book brings me back to being a kinder and more thoughtful human being.Perhaps there are more than 25 rules, but these rate up at the top of my list!”

I had some laughs reading it, too, when he would state some of the more obvious rules of civility, such as, don't invade other people's personal space. Don't most people already know that? I did make note of some areas where I can improve though, so it was a worthwhile read, all in all.
A great gift for anyone to whom you'd like to drop a hint? :)”“Pretty much a no brainer when you believe in civility. I was looking for more.”

“This book was incredible. Forni has identified the need to return to a sense of civility in our society. Using many real-world examples, he offers his 25 rules for how to live more civilly. Unlike what I had expected, he doesn't assert that today's society is uncivil or even less civil than previous generations, just differently civil.

I found Forni's rules to be fairly common sense, but reading them again in this format did cause me to rethink my own actions and attitudes and refocus on what I should be doing and how I should be living my life.
I definitely recommend this book to absolutely anyone and I doubt my copy will be sitting on my shelf anytime soon as I plan to be lending it out to everyone I know.”
