I hear you, crich. Something about that combining just doesn't sit well with me. Like what category would you put the book in? Memoir? Psychology? And it's like you're either writing as an expert (the straight non-fiction) (even if you're just an extremely knowledgeable human being), or you're writing from your personal experience (the memoir). (In many ways, the latter is less risky, because you avoid the 'who are you to write about this stuff?' question. But many who write straight non-fiction make immediate disclaimers that they are not experts, then they give their reason for why they are qualified to write about it anyway (some claiming their authority comes from being a non-expert!).)
