Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem. Biggest effect on me of any book, by far. The only book that immediately jumped to mind without me needing to check my "read" list. I vaguely recall The Soul Of Sex giving me a healthier foundation for my own sexuality. The Power Of Myth and The Varieties Of Religious Experience for general spiritual goodness. The Selfish Gene has probably had a deep lingering effect on my thoughts about my life as a biological creature. Every Page Is Page One is very helpful for realizing (what I believe to be) the higher purpose of technical documentation, which is knowledge sharing.
