I've read quite a few of the books on the list, the ones that have stayed with me and actually changed my life are, in order of impact: 1. The Art of Learning - I'll never think about practice the same way. 2. Getting Things Done - Enough has been said about this elsewhere, but the whole concept of "what's the next action" has really worked for me. 3. E-Myth Revisited - This was my MBA in one book. It came at the right time for me and really changed the way I think about creating businesses as assets. I wasn't a fan the cheesy example of the pie shop, but the advice has been invaluable. Others that I found interesting, and that changed the way I think were: 4-hour Work Week. Yes, there is a ton of hype around this book, but I'd be surprised if anyone read it with an open mind and didn't learn anything or come away motivated to experiment with their lifestyle. Outliers. This one probably stands out to me since I read it so recently. Gladwell gets a lot of hype as well, but I think he deserves at least some of it. The Culture Code drastically changed the way I think about marketing. And, a few random notes on the others I've read: I found Predictably Irrational, Brain Rules and The 48 Laws of Power to be mostly garbage. The Wisdom of Crowds, Wikinomics and Made to Stick are decent essays in book form. Stumbling on Happiness is not nearly as good as Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis which would be in the first list I made above if it were on Siver's list. Seth Godin's books are good for motivation and for changing the way you think about marketing, especially if you've been doing it for a long time (I haven't). They're quick and fun, I think they're worth reading. Fooled By Randomness is worth reading if nothing else because Taleb is such an entertaining writer.
