“When I read Susan Packard’s Ten Rules of Gamesmanship, I found
many relatable truths. In our family we did not list them as
‘rules’ but we learned by my mother’s example. Difficult balancing
acts, like being gracious while staying cool, and showing grit
while valuing being likeable to others, and if you fail, learn from
it and try again. I live many of Packard’s ‘rules of gamesmanship’
through my mother’s wise examples.”
—Rachael Ray
