Manipulating somebody is just, like, a negative version of intentionally trying to change somebody's life for the better and succeeding.

So, manipulation can be either positive or negative?  I agree. But how can there be a negative version of succeeding at changing someone's life for the better?

If I successfully manipulate someone  into quitting smoking, for example, how does labelling it 'manipulation' make it a negative?
