Wow, I absolutely love this! It’s likes cleaning a pair of glasses and looking at the world without the smudges!
I would question the notion that self-help/self-improvement is always oriented towards a personal success or improvement over others. It could also be seen as a way to more effectively contribute to the collective. It could also been associated with a fractal holographic view that the more I heal and grow the more healing and growth becomes accessible to those around me.
There’s a developmental model I’ve studied and work with called STAGES developed by Terri O’Fallon that claims that as humans we go through developmental cycles some that are more individually oriented (think 2 year old and then think the self oriented businessperson) and others that are more collectively oriented (think high schooler and post-modern democratic socialist). The trick is to recognize the limitations and shadows of given stage and orientation to the world, while also recognizing the gifts of that stage. Anyway, it’s a whole be thing, but I thought it was worth sharing.
