Be forewarned: Although kid-friendly, Andrea's humor and writing style are similar to Ben Stein's (droll), and occasionally borders on Lewis Black's (cranky, exasperated). If you can't appreciate anecdotes about unacceptable behavior to see the contrast in kind/civil behavior, these tips aren't for you.

But, if you're as fed up as Andrea is with gossip, slamming, sniping, name calling, disrespect, rude behavior, mean-spiritedness, hostility, bullying, mobbing, and aggression, then you will appreciate her short, specific action steps to making our world more respectful, courteous, hospitable, kind, compassionate, warm and inclusive.
