Poise is a power derived from the mastery of self, runs the epigraph, and Starke builds a whole training program on it. He names the enemies of poise, then drills the habits that produce unshakable composure in speech, business, and daily encounters. A French manual of self-command in translation. Steadiness, taught step by step.
