#12It won't win me any hipster points, but I have to recommend "Influence: the psychology of persuasion", by Robert B. Cialdini. This book managed to beautifully, clearly, and engagingly account for the major factors of human influence.
Despite a degree in cognitive science and extensive personal interest in social psychology and compliance tactics, this book still proved incredibly insightful. And from a marketing and sales perspective, I would consider it a must-read.

#13"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards
This book could/will change the way we see things. Not only for drawing or art, principles from the book can be applied to any creative profession.

#14How to get Rich - by Felix Dennis
He writes in a direct, no-nonsense way about how he made his millions and he appears to honestly reflect on both the positive and negative results of his wealth. The title betrays the content slightly as it is more about how he got rich.

This book inspired me more than any other.
