Manners matter. But what are they, exactly?

With Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won't, Donald James goes beyond handshakes and thank-you notes to explain how the true definition of manners is the authentic and genuine way we show up in the world. With inspiring and thought-provoking stories from his 35 years in public affairs and education at NASA, and guided by the lessons his mother taught him, Donald explains how having good manners is a key ingredient to finding purpose, fulfillment, and meaning in business and in life.

With an engaging foreword by Congressman Eric Swalwell, Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won't represents a call to dignity and etiquette at a time in our history when those qualities matter more than ever. The book is an essential guide for recent graduates, young professionals, mentors, human resource managers, and anyone who wants to build fulfilling and meaningful relationships at work and elsewhere.

Industry Reviews

"Written with warmth and understanding-like a firm handshake, a well-received compliment, or walking through the door on time-this book leaves you with the feeling that doing what is right and being at ease in the world of human relationships is not complicated and is completely attainable for anyone."

-Daniel Post Senning, Emily Post Institute

"Donald G. James is a master storyteller, a wordsmith interweaving personal stories of achievement while giving his account of success at NASA. His 'Momma's Rules' are timeless, a real blueprint for success. Every page is filled with literary joy, a brilliant triumph."

-Skip Jennings, minister, author, speaker, coach, and founder of Mind Body Spirit Solution LLC

"During a time when the world desperately needs to be reminded of these values, Manners is an elegant yet practical story that is probably the best book on how to become a conscious, compassionate leader. Donald doesn't give you models or theories, he shows you how to lead through his life's work in breezy, readable stories."

-Libby Robinson, MA, master certified coach, managing partner at Integral, a global leadership consultancy
