I use Tags in Calibre to add genres too. Mine are:
Nonfiction
Fiction
Fantasy
Science Fiction
Cooking
Knitting
Romance
Erotica
Historical Fiction
Classics
Mystery
Thriller
Poetry
Short Story
Zombies
Travel
Western
I'll use multiple tags if I think it's necessary, and I only have a few books tagged "Fiction" since it's not descriptive. So a book of short stories about zombies would be Thriller, Short Story, and Zombies. When I first started my Calibre library I only had a few tags but I started to use more as I needed them.
Anything self-help or relationship advice type stuff I would put as "Nonfiction". If I started to get several books of one category I would begin tagging them as whatever it is, like maybe Relationships, Family, Marriage, etc.
