Here is my very obsolete "self help guru ratings" page, and an (old) incomplete list of self-help books I've read or skim-read.
Every guru I clicked on (the ones I have heard of) had a "bad" rating.
/reads a few ratings
Looks like they are functioning as designed.
Most of them are rated "bad": the only "good" ratings I recall are Cudney, Dunman, and Gilbaugh. There's a somewhat higher number of "meh" ratings, but still a minority.
I'm perfectly willing to believe this given my own exposure to the self-help field, though. It really is mostly terrible.
