The Art of Grace: A Handbook to Help You Not Embarrass Yourself in Every Situation

By Dr. Archana Raj

Have you ever second-guessed whether you should hug, shake hands, bow, or backflip in a greeting? Or wondered if it’s okay to post that beach selfie in your family WhatsApp group? The Art of Grace is here to save you — from awkward silences, side-eyes, and social slip-ups.

This isn’t your grandmother’s rulebook on which spoon to use for soup (though, we’ve got that too). It’s the ultimate, no-nonsense, refreshingly witty handbook for surviving — and thriving — in every possible social scenario in the 21st century.

From funerals to Facebook groups, dinner tables to DMs, hospital rooms to boardrooms, weddings to WhatsApp etiquette — this book tells you exactly how to carry yourself with class, kindness, and common sense.

What’s inside?
The ripple effect of grace — how one act of elegance can change everything
Global etiquette decoded: Cultural dos and don’ts around the world
Travel etiquette — whether it’s a flight, bus, train, cab, or the dreaded middle seat
Call & phone etiquette: From polite tone to the myth of multitasking
Virtual etiquette: Zoom calls, selfies, social media sharing, and digital boundaries
The art of apology, forgiveness, and letting go — gracefully
Spousal, friendship, parental, and professional etiquette
Elevator drama, restaurant faux pas, classroom chaos — we’ve got it all covered
A fun “How Graceful Are You?” MCQ quiz — test yourself, laugh at yourself
And etiquette for spaces no one talks about — like hospitals, funerals, and even dressing rooms

Written in bite-sized, humorous chapters, The Art of Grace is a delightful read that works as your everyday go-to guide — whether you’re 21 or 71. Carry it in your bag, keep it on your desk, or gift it to that one friend who desperately needs to stop putting their feet on airplane trays.

Because let’s face it — in a world that’s loud, fast, and a little bit messy, grace is the quiet power that still speaks the loudest.
