Three Pillars of Zen, read when I was 16, it felt like "This is it. This is how I see it." Few books by Ken Wilber, gave me a framework, a meta-frame of sorts when I was young. Introduction to NLP (esp. chapter V on Meta Model, took me two years to process it) Structure of Magic, vol. II - communication, incongruity Mind and Nature by Gregory Bateson And I could go on and on... but the winner is... "Embracing Our Selves" by Sidra & Hal Stone. This book and perspective changed my life completely. It was like a grenade bursting inside my mind and I've seen many people reacting to it this way (incl. people closest to my heart). It's a perspective shift, an insight. You've been warned. :)
