Same TBH, it come across quite unnatural to me but as someone who doesn't know how to talk to people or socialize, it helped me a lot in the past. Overtime, I kinda get used to more talking, more socializing, and reading the room. I guess, partly thanks to that book.
It did repel me initially given how some principles had to use a little bit of flattery to make it through the tough situations. That's exactly what I got during the first parts as a lesson which is way off from my blunt approach to communication. But seeing it actually works makes it more practical that's why I just claimed it's for beginners to for communication improvement. I needed to know why some people can be so good at connecting.
I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people are capable of handling the truth and it's a matter of how you deliver that makes them receptive. To the point that you can call them ugly and still give you a smile taking it as a innocent jest.
