It seems to me that people that don't read self-help books lump a lot more books into the genre and that causes them to miss a number of books they should read.
Earlier this year I recommended Bargaining for Advantage to someone and they responded that they don't really read self-help books. There are a number of books like this that deal with particular topics inside of the broader self-help genre, many of them going to a much more useful level of depth.
In bookstores I regularly find very good books on particular areas of business mixed in with self-help in the more populist style.
Reading a number of these expert titles is very valuable. From the popular group often only one book is enough to cover the common sense side of things, for instance I recommend that all my friends read "how to Win friends and influence people".
