it's ok as an introduction to thinking about social strategy but the actual advice is very hit or miss. nothing concrete enough

Timing is a major element in the self-help industry.

friend recommended me that, could you elaborate on your experience?

I hear DFW loved self help books. Did he have any favorites or ones he recommended?

I know he had a ton of them, many of them the kind of bestselling cheesy sh books many people here complain about, but I don't know if he really loved them or he was just desperate to cure his personal ills.
