ARE YOU MANNERLESS?

Are You Mannerless? Why Decency Still Defines Power At a prestigious United Nations–affiliated leadership summit in 2025, everyone was dressed with dignity except a few. The richest men in the room came in jeans, untucked shirts, and sports shoes without socks, sending a silent message: “We don’t care about your rules.” But is that freedom, or is it arrogance? In this bold and timely book, Dr. Abhishek Gilara explores why manners are not about clothes or etiquette, but about respect, discipline, and true power. Drawing from his own experiences and insights from his previous works (Discipline Is Knowing Where to Sweat, Competition Is My Guru, Don’t Take It Personally), he argues that: Manners are law in miniature break them, and you break society. Arrogance disguised as authenticity is the fastest road to downfall. True leadership begins with being a gentleman. Small acts of decency build trust, loyalty, and legacy. The new definition of power is not wealth or arrogance it is respect. With sharp reflections, real-life stories, and lessons from psychology, history, and spirituality, this book is a wake-up call: If you think manners don’t matter, you may already be mannerless
