I agree with those saying Meditations by Aurelius. Also, The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang was helpful for me. Among other things, it reminded me to enjoy some of life's subtleties that I often took for granted.

The reality is there is no such thing as a self-help book. You're involving the author.
That said:
"The Importance of Living" - Lin Yutang
"How to be Idle," and "How to be Free"/"Freedom Manifesto" (UK/US title, respectively) by Tom Hodgkinson.
Also "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield

I haven't read that book you mention, but I'm familiar with The idler and some of their stuff online. They seem like a pleasant bunch who've got their priorities right. I believe it was The Idler that lead me to reading some Lin Yutang
