i dunno i tried to read it once and the whole time i couldn't shake a weird vibe. definitely not as bad as PUA stuff but still kind of smelly. some of the advice is pretty ok though you're not wrong about that.

I will caveat all of that with the fact that I read it in junior high, and don't really remember much. It felt weirdly manipulative in parts but some of it seemed innocuous.

I do not endorse it. But I think if you're going to read any book on the subject, you can do a lot worse, I guess is my stance.
