The Bible.

  Maybe elaborate a little bit? Its certainly an influential book. I can think of a lot of professional lessons it could contain, (I've turning the other cheek a lot at work this summer with some very abrasive folks; hard to tell how well its worked so far...) but you probably should be the one to justify it. I'm an Atheist, though culturally christian, so I won't pretend to understand it well.

    Start with the book of Proverbs, follow its wisdom and advice, if all you're after is career improvements. Great wisdom. (Wisdom about people, situations, attitudes, and actions are all found there). But, move on to John, if you are eager for more.

      0 points?!?!? I thought this was about what non-technical books have helped me, professionally. Intolerance?

    The Bible provides a solid moral background for a very successful career in the long-term. I'd ask material atheists to go beyond the realms of Genesis and focus on the true revolutions it has brought about. Go ahead and read about Rene Girard. "Thou shall not covet or kill" is not a self-evident concept for Humanity.
