Alkon gets some ink

amyalkonpsychtoday.jpgLocal advice columnist Amy Alkon's new book "I See Rude People: One woman's battle to beat some manners into impolite society” comes out this month and she showed up in the weekend's New York Times, which notes she "often posts the personal information shared by loud cellphone talkers on her blog." Alkon's book is excerpted in the new Psychology Today. She's also scheduled to be on a "Dr. Phil" episode Nov. 20.
