It is not a bad book for socially awkward people since it teaches the basic rules of social interaction that a lot of less awkward folk take for granted. I was a college RA in an elite university, and it was amazing how much social isolation could be improved by following that book’s advice. I’d put that book in the mostly harmless to positive category of self help books. It’d be more concerned with someone who pairs it with more Machiavellian books like 48 Laws of Power.
