How to Win Friends and Influence People is the classic book about rapport and communication skills. The core idea of the book is that you can change other people’s behavior simply by changing your own. It teaches you how to better understand people, become more likeable, improve relationships, persuade others, and influence behavior through leadership.
If you've never studied communication skills as an art or science, How to Win Friends and Influence People is an excellent starting point. However, the language and context of the book is somewhat dated though. So keep that in mind.
