The Quiet Room
How Old Money Reads People and Holds Its Ground
Every hard moment has a quiet room in it: the second after an insult, the pause after a request, the silence after “And what do you do?” This book is about what happens in that silence. How to read the person in front of you, and hold your ground without giving away your dignity, your money or your calm.
- Reading a room before you say a word, from the door to the handshake
- The questions that rank you, from “And what do you do?” to “What did that cost?”
- Holding your ground when you are interrupted, tested or told “just kidding”
- Saying no without a paragraph, and what we hand down to our children
