It seems trite, Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People sounds like it would be such an instruction manual, and it basically is. It's not replacement for just getting out there and practicing, but it can get you to the point where you're relatively comfortable going out and getting that practice.
A much more useful book (intended as a management tool but good for a general life instruction manual) is How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People by Jonar C. Nader.
