Who moved my cheese. Its not my favorite book but its influenced me the most and I read it atleast once a year. It is a powerful parable about making things happen for yourself and focusing on things you can control and not blaming a bad hand or rough circumstances.
Average is Over by Tyler Cowen. About educated middle class workers working with collaborative automated systems vs non-educated and a changing society. Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson. An allegory about how our modern jobs are changing. Mindset by Carol Dweck. About the belief of fixed mindset vs a growth or learning mindset, and the effects of both. The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin. How our industrial (conformity) economy has evolved into a connection (post-industrial) economy, and what it takes to survive in this new world.

"Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson. It's only a short tale, but it changed my approach to more or less everything. I am eternally grateful to my good friend who showed it to me in about 2000/2001 ish.
