As for the books on this list, I would second Think and Grow Rich as a great place to start... with the caveat that if you read it and it doesn't hit you, put it aside and come back to it at a later date. Not everyone "gets it" the first time through.
The other thing I would suggest is reading stories, biographies, and history at the same time. The Killer Angels, Founding Brothers, and The Count of Monte Cristo, amongst others, become fantastic teachers if, when you read them, you keep the question "What can I learn from this?" in mind. Personally, I retain lessons from stories better than from how-to books...
