Self-help authors keep writing longer books, self-help customers keep learning how to read faster or switch to reading summaries on third-party websites...
Books get written for different purposes and used by different people for different reasons. At the same time books get also read by different people for different reasons.
There's a constituency that reads self-help books as insight porn but there are other people who want to delve deep. I remember a person who read Tony Robbins 500 page book twenty times and every time he read it he discovered something something new.
