There’s a lot of science-based books in the self help section on things like: - Scientifically tested methods for behavior change (quitting smoking, alcohol/drug use, changing your diet, etc) - Information and guidance for medically recognized conditions (major depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc) - Books on interpersonal skills in various contexts (relationships, work, etc). And ones better and more factually-based than “Power Laws”, etc. - Books meant as support or guides for working through various forms of past trauma or abuse, which have been written by trained professionals with clinical experience (ie psychologists with Phds). Obviously the quality of the material varies and there is a lot of suspect work. Most is the good books also make clear that they do not replace working with a qualified professional. But everything requires judgement and context in life, not just the self-help section. And I too am a fan of philosophy.
