I've got the opposite attitude. If you read it you'll know what all the self-help authors are ripping off (and a ton of contemporary non-fiction is functionally self-help) and you can be inoculated against the bullshit. If you have a critical, reflective attitude towards reading it, it's all grist to the mill. And Carnegie is a better writer than most in the genre.
I wouldn't be worried about a book ruining you. You're not gonna keep up with bullshit that goes counter to your values anyways, unless you're avoiding something, which is something that a book isn't culpable for.
Tbh I am reading a kinda terrible BDSM guide at the moment and while I find some of it insightful, I find it more useful to understanding what the fuck people on Fetlife are talking about. Like there is a veritable epidemic of One Twue Way on there scattered among the groups and now I got some understanding of it.

This is to me just like teens who don't understand that Archive of Our Own is, in fact, an archive and not a social media site so it will never have an algorithmic feed.

Sonic Computer Entertainment is proud to represent their newest console, Sony Dreamstation. The launching titles are set to be Crash the Echidna: My Girlfriend is a Human and Bon Muet, a bildungsvideo game about a teenage French mime who must silently avenge the death of his father by asphyxiation at a Corsican chestnut festival due to falling into a trough while drunk, the trough being in a flagrant violation of the French food service regulations of the 80's.

The Kentaro Miura tribute last time around was genuinely touching and I don't care if that is cringe.

I read that and The Art of War as a teen just to see them for myself. Tbh the reputation of AoW is kinda incredible. It is an incredible amount of not a business guide. "Hey remember logistics? Don't announce what you're gonna do. This is an actual field of expertise, btw, and the basics really matter."
