Self-help has its limit, just like weight lifting, running, your appearance, or a good diet. You can't self-help yourself into a million dollars. At some point, you have to consider what is "good enough", try to maintain that (or even make a little progress every day) and then re-channel that energy into creating value for other people.
I think everyone can benefit from self-help to a certain degree, and some need it more than others. It's like trying to right your ship. Once you are on the correct path, you don't move forward by consistently re-aligning but rather creating value for others. You can read Unscripted 50 times and each time re-align your core beliefs even closer to MJ, but there are diminishing returns. I'd imagine that most people benefit greatly the first time they read it, and probably even the second or third time, but at some point you have to go out and apply what you know.
To me, self-help can both re-align your beliefs so that you're able to accomplish what you need as well as put you in the right frame of mind to do it. But at some point, diminishing returns kicks in and this is the point where people need to recognize it and start re-channeling their focus, putting self-help in maintenance mode (maybe part of their miracle morning routine or some reading at night).
