I've read a few self-help books in my time. Not many, but a few. I think they can be good for opening your eyes on a subject, but pretty much after you've read one (or two), you've read them all. Not completely useless, but not necessarily life-changing.
I don't think the books are necessarily the problem, it's people not being able to think critically, know how to apply things to their life and filter out what isn't relevant.
this. the problem isnt the books. often times they tell how the author went about creating and maintaining a relationship, but where the problem lies is the reader doesnt think critically, and instead of using the book as a guideline, they take it as " the book says this, so i have to do this all the time". in other words they use it as an instruction manual on how to assemble a relationship from a kit, instead of as a set of general guidelines on how to develop a relationship.
I think when they are used as a way to learn more about yourself, setting boundaries and how to better understand and relate to others they can be helpful. As far as reading ones about changing other people, save your money.

Books about relationships can be helpful, as long as you remember that the advice is simply the author's opinion on how to do things and not the end all, be all answer to things. A lot of 'em are crap, and some are not. It's that ability to think critically when reading 'em that counts most.
I agree with rosebyanothername in regards to learning about yourself...
Reading a book is always helpful to the individual, regardless of the subject matter. Hating on someone for chosing to learn more about something of interest to them is pretty stupid, if you ask me...
I think it all depends on how aerodynamic the books are and how good the person's aim is
