Emily Post's Etiquette 17th Edition

Peggy Post

Sinopse

For the first time in its history, this American classic has been completely rewritten. Peggy Post gives us etiquette for today's times. Read by millions since the first edition was published in 1922, Emily Post—the most trusted name in etiquette—has always been there to help people navigate every conceivable social situation. The tradition continues with this 100 percent revised and updated edition, which covers the formal, the traditional, the contemporary, and the casual.
Based on thousands of reader questions, surveys conducted on the Emily Post Institute and Good Housekeeping Web sites, and Peggy's travels across the country, the book shows how to handle the new, difficult, unusual, and everyday situations we all encounter. The definition of etiquette—a code of behavior based on thoughtfulness—has not changed since Emily's day. The etiquette guidelines we use to smooth the way change all the time.
This new edition resolves hundreds of our key etiquette concerns: dealing with rudeness, netiquette, noxious neighbors, road rage, family harmony, on-line dating, cell phone courtesy, raising respectful children and teens, and travel etiquette in the post-9/11 world...to name just a few.
Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th Edition also remains the definitive source for timeless advice on entertaining, social protocol, table manners, guidelines for religious ceremonies, expressing condolences, introductions, how to be a good houseguest and host, invitations, correspondence, planning a wedding, giving a toast, and sportsmanship.
Peggy Post's advice gives us the confidence of knowing we're doing the right thing so we can relax and enjoy the moment and move more easily through our world. Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th Edition will be the resource of choice for years to come.

The greatest thinkers of our time have considered these questions and more; after much time mulling things over they have summed up the human condition in short - but incredibly deep - quotations.

Increase Your Wealth

Amy Applebaum

A guided meditation designed to help you make more moolah!
The secret to making more money doesn’t come from a different business model or taking another “waste my time” expensive online course.
To increase your wealth you have to tackle the cause of the problem...your negative thoughts.
Abundance begins between your two ears.
To stop playing small in the money game, you need to stop the mental thinking self-sabotage.
In this guided meditation, you will move past the fears and nasty thinking that have held you back and you’ll decide to never again play small. You’ll begin regaining your confidence, and you will choose that you are worthy of the security and luxury that abundance brings.
Increase Your Wealth has been designed carefully to erase the negative thoughts that block you from accessing the abundant life you want and deserve.
This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’
1. 2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening.
2.A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session.
Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here!
As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.
Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.
I have seen it in my own life.
I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.
Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.
We are giving so much to the world around us.
But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.
And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.
And I make doing meditation dead easy.
My MOVE collections are guided meditations.
You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation.
All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!
Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and destress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.
So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!
“In just a short period of time I’ve noticed that it’s made a significant difference in my life. The confidence and money-making downloads have been especially helpful. I’ve been telling friends and family about them ever since. Thank you so much for your time, and for the benefit I’ve already gotten from your amazing meditations.” ~ David Menconi
Isn’t it time?
Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from being the most abundant possible version of you?And it’s so easy.
Just put the earbuds in and listen.
Nothing simpler.
All you need to do to open the door to abundant living the EASY way
is waiting for you here.

Stress has a host of negative effects not only on our bodies but on our minds – and it’s something almost all of us experience too much of.

This is no joke – stress is killing people and ruining lives. Stress has oftentimes led to anxiety as well which is another pressing concern.

However, when anxiety gets severe, chronic, and irrational, you might already have an anxiety disorder and experience episodes of anxiety attacks. This bundle will teach you what stress is, what causes it, and how you can prevent it. You will discover if you are possibly addicted to stress and how to break this cycle.
