The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey (Fireside, 1989). 

Okay, these books are in no particular order except this one.   If I had to recommend just one book, this would be it.  In many respects this is the modern guidebook to being human.
 

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra (New World Library, 1994). 

Deepak Chopra has written many wonderful books, but this is perhaps the most all encompassing from the master of blending science with spirit.

One Step to Wealth, by Bill Bell

(23rd Street Press, 1999).
 

The Millionaire Next Door, by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko  (Longstreet Press, 1996). Quite often the reason new ideas are hard to embrace is because old beliefs are taking up the space. Read this book and forever dispel some of the misconceptions you probably hold about who is rich and how they got that way. Not a light read, but in many respects an eye-opener.

 

Inspirational Leadership, by Lance Secretan (Macmillan, 1999). 

Yes, this is a book about leadership, which may lead you to believe that only CEOs should read it. That would be too bad. The message of hope and inspiration in this book is one that we should all hear.

Winning the Tax Game 2006, Tim Cestnick, (Wiley, 2005). 

Okay, this might not be a book you actually sit down and read, although, it is arguably the only tax guide that you could.  But for those looking for a technical guide and reference book, Tim has cornered the market.

 

 If you are having trouble accepting the importance of goals and beliefs, read this book.
