Have you ever read a book like this (in description)? Did you feel you benefitted from it?

Background. A while back, my brother [who was as introverted and shy as I before he went off to college, and returned a very outgoing guy] gave me a DVD with hundreds of e-books, from dating, to reading people, to cooking, to martial arts, to card games. I never got around to reading most of them, and now I’m trying to find that DVD and it’s nowhere to be found.

I’m wondering if anyone here has ever read a book like:
-How to get people to like you in 90 seconds
-How to read body language
-The top X habits of highly successful people
-How to get people to listen to you

and actually been able to get some kind of “results” from them.
