- The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch - This book describes the speech Randy Pausch gave in 2007. It was to be his last speech. He touched on topics such as: What matters to you? What matters in life? And what should you value?
I would highly recommend reading this book, and better yet, to watch this lecture, which is free online. - The 4-hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris - How much could you improve yourself if you only had 4 hours to work a week? To get there you have to do a lot of improvement from the get-go, which is what Timothy Ferris beautifully explains in this book.
If you are looking to get out your comfort zone with hands on challenges, then I would highly recommend this book if only for the Q&A’s (Questions & Actions). - The War of Art by Steven Pressfield - Fight the resistances, distractions and boring tasks by learning to “dance in the rain”. Life is one big war, how are you going to persist through it?
EDIT: There are plenty more great books but a lot of them are included in the answer wiki already!
