Just be true to yourself, if they don't appreciate you for who you are they shouldn't mean anything to you in the first place.

Leave the self-help books to the clueless bottom business types. No actually intelligent person would swallow this shit.

Unless, of course, you plan to cash in on the suckers, in which case you can read all viable ones in a week and regurgitate the trite, obvious bs they keep pandering. If you can swallow being this much of a shallow fraud.
