Though this is a pretty decent book. The version I read in 2009 had updated all the pop culture references to make it more relatable.

oh yeah, no better way to learn how to form lasting relationships than the book charles manson testified having learned manipulation from.

The updated book actually has some useful points, whether it's used for good or bad depends on the person

From memory, much of its advice could be summarized with "act with humility, treat people well, and show an interest in what others have to say, and they will generally like you and be willing to do what you want". It had a lot of anecdotes from people describing how they handled difficult confrontations with others as part of their jobs at usually small businesses. Notoriously annoying customers would reflect on their behavior and change it after someone hears out their complaints and offers to accommodate them.
It is manipulative and can be used maliciously, but it's also just generally good advice to prevent and de-escalate conflicts. I don't think it's any more evil than a hammer is for its potential to harm people as well as build things.
