Founder of a global etiquette school and star of her own Netflix series Sara Jane Ho teaches readers how to thrive socially in a variety of situations, in person and online.
Etiquette, Sara Jane says, is the glue that holds society together. Humans are social creatures, after all—we need connection to survive. But with global cultures in flux and the post-pandemic digital age, shadow epidemics of anxiety and loneliness are on the rise. Plus, the old rules of “decorum” don’t match the times.
Amidst all this withdrawal and change, social growth can feel out of reach. How do we leave the comfort of our homes, step away from our screens, and interact face to face? How do we create genuine bonds with people we’ve just met, and how do we maintain those ties throughout our lives? Even the most resilient social butterflies among us face sticky situations—from accidentally-sent invites to unruly work and family encounters—any advice would help.
In her signature cheeky yet pragmatic style, Sara Jane Ho imparts a lifetime’s worth of lessons, pro-tips, and FAQs on social and digital etiquette across the five main microcultures in our lives: Friendship & Social Life, Work, Dating & Relationships, Family, and Food & Travel. From jumping everyday hurdles to discerning unspoken, cross-cultural cues, Mind Your Manners helps us feel the joy and transformation of social fluency—that deep comfort that comes from connection, inclusion, and presenting our best self in any situation.

Title: An entertaining read yet limited guide
Review: Overall, this was an engaging read. Sara offers valuable advice on navigating various situations, infused with her unique perspective and personal experiences. My favorite sections were those on Social life and Food and Travel.That said, I found her approach on personal relationships somewhat rigid at times. Her decision-making is often cutthroat, which may reflect her personality, but some of her advice feels overly business-like and lacking patience. For instance, in the chapter on dating and relationships, she advises, âpeople reveal themselves too earlyâ when discussing how to avoid potentially toxic relationships. However, this oversimplifies the complexity of human interactions, as some people can maintain a facade for years before showing their true colors. Itâs as if she views everything as a transaction and gets heated easily if they do something not to her liking.The book also seems tailored to a specific demographicâcertain economic classes, age groups, and social environmentsâmaking it less universally applicable. While her advice is theoretically sound, Iâve found it doesnât always hold up in real-life situations.Despite this, the book is accessible and easy to understand, making it a worthwhile read for anyone looking to refine their general social skills and manners, even if some of the advice may not resonate with everyone.

Title: Enjoyable and very beneficial read
Review: From a young age I have always been interested in etiquette and have collected several etiquette books over the years. I think this may be my favorite. I purchased the audio version but want the hardback as well. I love that the author narrates, it is very pleasant to listen to. What was most surprising for me was that it isnât just about etiquette rules- but a way of life that could benefit us all. Her suggestions are readily applicable and shockingly simple- sometimes we get so involved in things we overthink how to handle them. In short, she is genius, witty, and wise. You wonât regret buying this book. I wish I had it when I was younger. Would be an excellent gift for a Highschool graduate.

Title: Emily Post with an Asian/International Twist
Review: As a Baby Boomer Southerner, I was well-instructed in manners by my mother, Emily Post and sixth grade manners classes. I tried to pass similar manners instruction to my own children, but I recognize that many of those younger than 40 have not had that same advantage. Mind Your Manners could serve a similar purpose for the younger generation. I enjoyed Ho's Netflix series and this book serves as an extension for those who also enjoyed it.Ho gives the reader good insight into "social fluency" in a multi-cultural, international world. Her goal is to help readers be better able to "read people and situations with accuracy and speed" and "interact with others in a smooth, effective, and confident way". I believe this book achieves those two purposes while also giving a good explanation of Asian cultures.This book would be a good gift for a recent college graduate or anyone in the business world who wants more confidence in social settings. I received an advanced digital copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Title: Modern day etiquette book
Review: Mind Your Manners is a modern day etiquette guide. I really appreciated the chapters on digital etiquette because this is a new area of rules. Additionally, I enjoyed the sections on food and travel. Throughout the book there are several really good practical tips. I also appreciated the international perspective with examples from the US, China and Europe.My main challenge with the book is that it is written for a very specific audience: heterosexual women between the ages of 18-35. Queer individuals are not mentioned or considered in this book. In today's culture there are so many diverse lifestyles and it is so important (and polite!) to make sure that all feel included.
