Many books that seek to change us aspire to make us richer or thinner. This new book wants to help us to be nicer: less irritable, more patient, readier to listen, warmer, less prickly. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but it is a hugely important quality nevertheless, and one that we neglect at our peril.

Being nice deserves to be rediscovered as one of the highest of all human achievements. Chapters include: Why We Don't Really Want to be Nice Charity Politeness Losers and Tragic Heroes What is the Purpose of Friendship? Why Flirting Matters
