Giblin shows step by step how to get what you want at any time and in ways that leave you feeling good about yourself. Moreover, the people who have given you want you want wind up feeling good about themselves, too. The result? Nobody gets shortchanged. It's a win-win situation.

Solid refresher

Pretty Solid
If you've got the time, I would really recommend How to Win Friends and Influence People over this book. I think it says the same thing but feels like a better read. however, this one is pretty short and is a good refresher.
