Summary: I think the title is a pretty good summary of the book - it's focused on how to have effective conversations and how to make friends.
Thoughts: While I'm inclined to be skeptical about whether self-help books actually have anything helpful to say, I feel like this one actually does. Most of its suggestions are probably obvious in hindsight, but it's helpful to have them in written in one convenient place where it's harder to ignore that that's probably what I should be doing. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who thinks their ability to interact with people could use a pick-me-up. It's probably helpful for other kinds of people also, but I don't have experience to speak from there. Now the next question is whether I'll actually apply what I learned...
