My personal recommendation is 'The Psychology Of Interpersonal Behaviour' by Professor Michael Argyle.  An easy reading introduction from which you can explore further.

Sorry for my incompetence in English and psychology. It may not be categorized as a feeling but i believe it is connected to psychology. I think this trait comes under one of the dark triad in psychology ‘Machiavellianism’. People with this psychological trait will try to manipulate others if they think it would be beneficial. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
