1. Publishers publish what they think will sell well. Since most self-help books work on some people but don't work on most of the people who buy them (morons), self-help books are very easy to sell.
2. There are smaller publishing companies who will publish even moar crap.
3. If you don't feel like going through the trouble of publishing through either of the above, you can publish a book yourself and get it printed (or print it yourself, though I wouldn't suggest that).
