People might be discouraged in reading Proverbs because it seemed to be too judgemental, encourages people to point fingers and feel all high and mighty and wise.
So that is not how you use it, the way is there in the Proverb itself: Those that considered themselves wise, there's more hope for a fool than for him (I'm paraphrasing a bit). The way you get more out of Proverb is to find the fool, the wicked, the evil in you.
If you read Proverb and feel like you're wise, you should keep reading until you feel personally attacked. If you got it then you got the room for improvement. (Edit: Rephrasing that: you should keep reading and thinking until you figured out how you're vulnerable).
Proverb is very good for increasing your growth, when you feel good about yourself and you feel like it's time to improve, then Proverb is where you could find good things that would make you feel bad. And it's free!
