Keep it that way. It's watered down philosophy for soccer moms, autists, and plebs.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
One of the whole points of literature is improvement of the soul, fine-tuning of our intuition to nature's richness and life's deep wells.
What is called "self-help" just ends up being a cheaply assembled world schema for allowing you to plug in your pre-existing aspirations, usually a bastardized religious form or pure pseudo-science, just so you can have occasional bursts of recited optimism for the next couple months and make it to the gym, or talk to a girl, or drink less, or whatever the fuck you want to do to make your life slightly less intolerable, all the while fattening the pocket of some dopey pseud so he can finish adding a yoga room to his NorCal mansion.

Getting Things Done. It is quite famous among IT and MBA types because a lot of orgs, including Microsoft, put it on a reading list for employees or something. A lot of so-called industry czars evangelise a lot from that book.
Chicken Soup for the Soul probably stopped someone killing themselves. I think a lot of zen/mindfulness texts are useful, if you consider them self-help.

I love the New Thought movement. I would also recommend any book pertaining to the subject.
Is this one any good? I hear a lot about it.

It's actually not bad. The author definitely focuses on christian morals and "all of us, together, yay!" but the practical advice it gives can help you improve your relations with others.

I'm halfway through the newer version "How To Win Friends & Influence People In the Digital Age" and it's actually really good. Surprisingly well written and it feels like the author is actually using the principles therein.

The whole book is just about basic politeness, followed by an example of someone being polite and why it was good.

My diary to be honest with you. Everything you read in there you need to do the complete opposite of.
Who reads self-help? It's not even self-help, you're not helping yourself, you're buying a book telling you to what you want to hear.
If you want a "self help" book with more practical advice check out 'Money for Life' by Steve Vernon.
Self-help is such garbage. How is it even remotely helpful? If there's cancer in my life, I know how to deal with it.
