He's talking about being a kind person. It has nothing to do with social engineering, but yes it does make people like you.
His book was aimed at everyone. It especially applied to salesmen, but they weren't the only target.
I suppose you're right. He reduces human emotions to a manipulatable format surrounded by rules that hackers can appreciate.
