A new model for etiquette -that goes beyond traditional etiquette -is needed to keep our public-behavior-wheels turning smoothly. Without it, daily life will continue to be a mine-field where people stumble culturally-- creating the impression that they are 'culturally clueless'. In The Don't Get Me Started! Toolkit Strategies for a Culturally-Challenged World we offer a toolkit of skills for skillfully assessing and responding to the many challenging situations you may encounter in this rapidly changing world. So whether you are playing games online, using a 'gender-free' restroom, sharing a picture on Facebook, conversing with friends in a café, applying in person for a new job or hosting an intergenerational event - you will be able to determine how the rules have changed and act in a manner that assures more successful outcomes. Being 'culturally-clueless' may not land you in jail...but it could very well make you less competitive in the job marketplace, less admired among your peers and less respected within your family
