What are some good "How To" books that teach you offbeat or under-appreciated skills?

Looking for examples of books like:

how to pick locks

how to dumpster dive

how to spot and avoid scams

how to get free stuff

how to use Game Theory to haggle price

Just various “How To” books that would not be found in a Dummies Guide book but would teach you a skill that might help you in Life. Or that would turn you into MacGyver.

You’d be shocked at what military instruction books you can find online.
