Charisma - How to get that special magic by Marcia Grad. I'd probably think it was corny as anything now but it helped a lacking in confidence teenager become somewhat less so.

How to Win Friends and Influence People - made me realise that 99.99% of anything you want to to do, you have to do by working through other people, and the best way to do that 99.99% of the time is to befriend and get on with people as far as possible.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay - Just a great story about a young, bullied kid in South Africa who learns to box.

Lives of the Greeks and Romans by Plutarch - shows you that human nature hasn't changed much in 2,000 years.
