ISTM that instrumental rationality overlaps a great deal with self-help/improvement.
It’s a subset of it. But there are a lot of other self-help topics that don’t belong here except (as for any topic that isn’t rationality) when there’s a specific rationality angle being discussed: diet, physical fitness, personal organisation (i.e. things like GTD and 43 folders), and so on.
