50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know Revised and Expanded: What to Do, When to Do It, and Why (The GentleManners Series)

This book offers clear, practical guidance aimed at helping young readers build confidence and good habits in everyday life. The advice is structured in short, easy-to-digest sections, which makes it approachable rather than overwhelming. Topics range from manners and communication to responsibility and personal presentation, with a tone that feels straightforward rather than preachy. A useful reference for foundational life skills and etiquette.

The book arrived in pristine condition which i appreciate highly. It is geared more towards younger boys than I was hoping. More of middle school/young high school. Some design choices are odd and can break up the flow of the chapters but it reads well. There are plenty of examples, reads conversationally, and is accurate in all respects. For a beginner's guide, it does well. Though I do say it lacks compared to the female version (I bought and read both as it is wise to understand both sides in order to play your own part well). All in all, as a starter guide for the intended age group, it does very well. When I allocate more funds to my self-improvement budget, I will be researching the rest of their books for more advanced teachings.

This is a nice book for a young man to have on hand. It provides some good advice without being preachy. It's straight forward and easy to read format. It covers things such as: How to accept a compliment. How to give a compliment. Shaking someone's hand. How to introduce someone. There are things it doesn't cover, obviously. But it covers a lot and it's enough for a young man who might want to improve himself or is open to correction and willing to do things better. I would suggest that it's too basic for an 18 year old. I gave it to my fifteen year old with the thought that if he can drive, he can start to have some more manners (He's already a pretty good kid) and learn to behave more properly. Because it's not judgy or preachy I think he was willing to read it and found it useful.

I recommend this book for any young man that wants to be more of a gentleman. The authors have a very good sense of humor, and understand how we young men feel about things. Of course, like any book like this, it has a few weird/incorrect tips and situations that require a different response from everyone. For the low price, it's great!

I first read this book with my son from the library . It was a such a great book for my boy that we HAD to purchase a copy for him to have for life. Very good teachings!

I'm an early 40's childless woman dating a recently divorced man with two teenagers. Shoot. Me. Now. I'll tell you if I acted the way his teenagers do, my parents would've knocked me into next week. There would be NO texting at the dinner table; NO sight of poor manners; and certainly NO entitled attitude in my childhood household. I'm bewildered that his kids act with such disrespect, because their father is such a sweet and kind man. His 14 year old son clearly has some discipline and boundary issues; especially issues with respecting privacy and knocking on doors. So, thank goodness there is a chapter in this book covering boundaries. John Bridges, thank you so much for this! I hope after his son reads this book, he will realize how his behavior reflects not only on him, but us as parental figures (wishful thinking). We know he's a smart kid; but I can't wait until his frontal lobe closes and maturity kicks in... Bless those of you with teenagers. I feel your pain. Great book!

I bought this book for my ten year old. I feel like a broken record sometimes and I’m sure it gets old having every instance made into a lesson so I figured to give this book a try. The chapters are short but give the “Do’s and Don’ts” and some practical solutions to situations. It’s good to read one section at a time and then implement. Some of the sections are basic but good reminders and, like it said, it’s not just coming from “mom” anymore.

I am so glad to have found this book. I have been reading a chapter every morning at breakfast with my 9 and 10 year old sons. The chapters are concise, very practical, and I find them very entertaining. It has sparked some valuable conversations with the boys, and I can somewhat limit my motherly nagging throughout the day to, "are you being gentlemanly?" When we finish reading it, we'll start it over again. These things can't be reiterated too many times!

So glad I got this for my boys… things I’ve been teaching them for years is now FINALLY sinking in because they read about it now 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️
