A bit complicated to follow at times but overall a good book with a great deal of information regarding the history of the title of gentleman.

The first page was good but then just proceeded to be a reasonably shallow self-help book. Far too simple to be of any real insight. If youve never read anything of this kind before you may find it useful but its just the usual 'lifes too short to worry/hate/anger/judgement' insert whatever you feel appropriate. I hoped for more from the title buts nothing I didnt already know.

This book is mostly about the history and philosophy behind being a gentleman. If you're looking for practical situational advice, it's only somewhat useful. Not an etiquette manual.

«Джентльмен подібний до воїна, бо знає, що має, за що битися, і він буде битися. Він — коханець, тому що дозволяє дружині та сімʼї звільнити себе від тиранії його его. Він подібний до монаха, бо застосовує ученість для розгадування таємниць людської душі. Він володіє цим поєднанням стриманості й відчуженості, що зветься sprezzatura, і це можна так само легко назвати незворушністю»

Some books have so much information, you need to read them twice. Such is the. Are with this title. The history and application to the modern world of ideas such as honor, chivalry, and other gentlemanly qualities is quite extensive. I had listened to it the first time and now have read it through again. The ideals presented are nothing short of solid goals a man can set for himself.

In need of multiple reads to truly grasp all the apparently problematic arguments and conclusions.
