Personally, I don't believe self help books help with people, I think they are only sold for people to get money easily. They talk about it on /lit/ a lot, and I've glanced at this book quite a bit and it most likely will not help. Sorry

It helped me considerably. I'd reread it if I were you, because it definitely led to my first girlfriends and long lasting friendships with girls and guys alike. Hell, even the less applicable to dating stuff like how the parents managed that child to do what they want was beneficial in dating.

It's pretty good book, but it's designed for people who are naturally charismatic to learn not to be self-centered. Not so much for un-charismatic people to build themselves up from scratch.

I think you need to just look at the people around you who have the type of social life you'd want to have, and start being REAL honest with yourself about what makes them different from you.

You missed the message if that's what you got. He never says to be a kiss-ass.

The most important things in that book are to be genuinely interested in other people and to let people save face when they fuck up.

Win friends and influence people literally changed my whole attitude to people/dealing with people.

Before I read that book I was unsociable, always getting in arguments with people and couldn't meet shit. Now I can make friends with anyone anywhere, be confident and deal with arguments and transgressions.

If you read it don't just read it once you've gotta do it a few times, put into practice and be genuinely interested. Hope this helps anon

>His technique to obtaining friends is literally "be a nice guy kiss-ass by listening to other people's problems and never ever talk about yourself".

It isn't you didn't get it.

That being said I can see how you got that message from how it is worded, if you skipped some essential sentences. There are many better books.

Read instead:

"No more Mr. Nice Guy" by Dr. Glover.

and

"How to make anyone fall in love with you" by Leil Lowndes.

They will help you infinitely more.

Check out 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene. Best books I have read on social interactions.
