Roosh on his podcast claimed that this book brought him up to speed socially and it is contemporary "How To Win Friends and Influence People". I always thought this book is about manipulation and never wanted to read it because of it. Can you share some thoughts on this book because I'm not sure I want to invest my time in it.
