The content in the book you're talking about is probably better represented by Professor Duane's original viral video on the topic:

I think he wrote that book in part because he was frustrated by the lack of nuance in his presentation and the fact that it sort of "went viral". 13 million views for a lecture about law is pretty astonishing.

Yes, but iirc the best advice at the time of the viral video was invoke the 5th, but it has since evolved to do not invoke the 5th. Insist on your 6th .

There's quite a bit of nuance in that recommendation. It's also very much about how you invoke your rights.

Since Salinas v. Texas you cannot stay quiet. You must invoke your 5th amendment right to not speak to the police, else they can use your silence against you at trial(!).

Professor Duane has a video on that topic.

I seem to recall the correct thing to do is to ask for council.

That too. "I will not speak without a lawyer present" should do.
