The Art of People: 11 Simple People Skills That Will Get You Everything You Want by Dave Kerpen
1.0
Super lightweight and fluffy. Almost nothing in this book is original. The construction of each chapter is in the style of those annoying as all hell LinkedIn posts that start with some attention-grabbing quote or dilemma, then go on to deliver a mundane piece of advice such as "praise in public, criticize in private" or "offer a feedback sandwich: a positive piece of feedback, a critical piece, then a positive piece of feedback." Wow, deep.
Also found the title distasteful because it implies relationships are about getting "everything you want." This isn't by accident ... the tips feel manipulative and focused on selfish goals, rather than on establishing healthy relationships.
This is 90% shallow stuff. There are far better books on this topic. Keep searching.
