I'm more of a practical person as i tend to understand the abstract through concrete examples.
Self-help books can help to express the abstract in a more concrete manner. It can inspire to go deeper. It can also give the vocabluary to express oneself better to others, thus increasing the chance that the other understand what one is saying/expressing and thus might help facilitating connections.
And sometimes we think that the problem is so deep and complex that we don't even fathom to look at it simplistically. Like feeling constantly on the edge and annoyed by everything, we might think because the world is going downhill, but it might be caused by the quality of your sleep.
Sometimes we focus so much on complexity/deepness that we forget common sense. It's a bit of a "you can't see the forest for the trees". And the self-help books can help you to remind yourself about the full picture that you have lost track of.
Since we're on this subject, I recommend that you read Jordan Peterson's books. I think of him as my idol, my hero, my savor. He was sent from God to save my life. I am not excessively pround when I say that he turned me into a person that I am proud of. Everyone loves me; I love me; and life is beautiful, and I credit a lot of that to him.
Robin have you read feel good productivity by Ali Abdal? It’s more of an unconventional approach to self help, I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on it.

I've definitely heard of it but haven't read it. Keen to see what it's about!
