To avoid gaffes and goofs and other embarrassments, we need to bring our social I.Q. into the twenty-first century. This book defines manners and etiquette for how we live today and shows readers how to keep their mouths foot free.

Among the topics covered:
-- How to mix business and social relationships
-- Thank-you notes and why they are indispensable
-- E-mail versus snail mail (guess which one is better)
-- How to behave on the first date
-- Being a teacher, a healer, a minister
-- Racism, politics, and sex
-- RSVP or else!
-- The Ten Commandments of social I.Q.

The book includes a social I.Q. test -- the author dares readers to improve their score before the "final exam", given at the end of the book. Raise Your Social I.Q. shows readers how to live better, happier, and nicer, and to help rid the planet of incivility.
