Book Summary

Amy Alkon brings a bold, science-backed take on modern etiquette in this sharp guide tailored for “nice” people who occasionally drop the F-bomb. She argues that today's society—vast, anonymous, and digital—has stripped away the social pressures that once curbed rude behavior. Using evolutionary psychology, she offers actionable advice for navigating everyday annoyances—from smartphone loudmouths to inconsiderate neighbors—helping readers stand up to jerks while maintaining empathy .

Alkon's chapters tackle real-world etiquette dilemmas: handling people on speakerphone in line, reclaiming space from intrusive dog walkers, or diplomatically confronting noisy neighbors. She emphasizes empathy—asking “how would I feel?”—and blending humor with how‑to strategies on sticking up for civility without losing your cool .

Reviews praise its lively tone and science-driven guidance. Library Journal calls it “hysterically funny and grounded in science,” while Dr. Adam Grant highlights how Alkon proves you can be courteous even if you're foul-mouthed .
