"Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl Short read, but great perspective from a really inspiring figure.

4 hour work week, if it counts as non-fiction (there are quite a bit of bullshit in it, but it makes you think differently about things most people takes for granted).

I wasn't a huge fan of "Ghost in the Wires"... The book was a decent read but Mitnick comes off as uncaring and short-sighted.

"Ghost in the wires" is his biography with a lot of fun stories, recommended.
