I've read a bunch of what could be considered "self help" and while they often have a lot of fluff, they do have interesting points. Many of them reference actual research studies to back those points.

I just skip the motivational fluff and dig out the useful bits. Makes them very fast reads when you can skip majority of it.

My recommendation is to find a talk by the author online. It’s free and serves the same purpose.
