How to Win Friends & Influence People. I'm autistic and having social skills best practices written out for me with examples landed me interviews, got me into romantic relationships, and more than 10x-ed the number of people I made friends with. It completely demystified social interactions. Before reading it I felt like a fish that never learned how to swim.

I think this book, and other nonfiction books in similar styles (The 48 Laws of Power, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, etc) illustrate that although their teachings might seem obvious to some, most of us are more ignorant/forgetful than we think and could use a tutorial now and then.
