Maybe this?

>be slimy and fake in order to increase social capital
imagine taking social advice from a business man who only saw people for what he could get out of them (money), great advice for businesstards, trash for real people

If I constantly alienate people due to my values, beliefs, and how I express myself, will this book help with that?

This is a scam.
I read it a year ago and still no friends, still no job.

Half way through this and have yet to find anything of value. Is it worth finishing? Why is this recommended so much?

Is this book effective, or will it just make people think I'm trying too hard and probably read this book?

self help books -- post em
I am trying to read one a month until I no longer hate myself. picrel really opened my autistic mind to the thoughts and feelings of others. what is you favorite self help book?

if everybody followed the advice here to a T, we'd be worse than yesmen. we'd all be silent. so, refuted by Kant's categorical imperative (which in turn is refuted by his own critique of pure reason, since our ability to conceptualize a law that we could will universally is predicated on our sensible intuitions and categories of understanding).

also, does anybody feel like you could read way too much of these "social skills" books and end up operating on a different plane of existence? like perhaps you end up trying to see complexities of personality that aren't there. or you think you're tuned into a power play that nobody can even detect.
