If anyone is put off by a snake-oil, slimy, manipulative impression from that title... Don't be. Give it a try anyway, it's not what you think.
I always found the title offputting but I'm glad i looked past it; it contains lots of great social advice and anecdotes, not a recipe for becoming an unctuous car salesman type.
Let me second that! The book teaches it's reader to be a kind, polite, and considerate friend to people you meet every day. It's a life changer - especially if you're of the shy persuasion.
