I was reading this, and I find the stories interesting, but the only good and worthwhile idea I could find was the idea of persuading people by challenging them. On another note, once you read this book, you can tell when others have read it too as you’ll recognize when they are trying to use the techniques on you.

10 & 11 are completely wrong but most of these are good advice
you can tell that because almost nobody ever does them nowadays

Staying our of arguments and not directly publicly calling people out are probably the only two rules I've been able to remember and 100% follow and they've changed my professional and personal life for the better.

THis book is abolute trash, but the running story that "only socially awkward autists read this" is fucking retarded
In college I met at least 3 guys that admitted to reading this shit book and the 3 of them were well adjusted people (one of them was a huge chad) and they literally only read this because they were dumb to not understand their intuition is already enough to "Win Friends and Influence people"

So only 3 types of people read this:
1) Non-sociable autists
2) Wannabe sociopaths
3) Normie retards
