Civility Rules! Creating a Purposeful Practice of Civility by Shelby Joy Scarbrough
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Is there a direct correlation between the advancement of our technology and our increasing reducement of civil discourse? In this book, the author draws on anecdotes and personal experience to explore the ideas about Civility set forth in George Washington’s “Rules of Civility”. Even those “old” rules are desperately needed in today’s society if we want to keep our democratic republic thriving. One thing that is needed from all of us, is a conscious effort to practice civility in our daily lives and in each of our interactions, no matter how hard or confrontational.
I really liked this book. It was a great reminder, even for those of us who think we are civil, that sometimes civility can mean a little humility and a lot of consideration for others and their views. Especially now, when we interact through technology so much more than we do in person, a reminder to stay civil and respectful towards each other is sorely needed. Thank you to the author for a great book!
