Antiventurecapital, if you enjoy personal development books, you'll enjoy Stephen Covey's
7 Habits. Stephen's writing can be a bit dry but it's invaluable because he has a unique message.
Even though there are lots of gems spread throughout, the most concise summary I can think of is that
character precedes personality, and principles precede values.
I can have a winning personality on the outside, but if my inner character is lacking it will eventually bring me down. I can value money highly, but if I don't follow first principles like taking care of my body while working for it, it will eventually bring me down.
(If you can't get through reading it, check out
the audio program 
)
His time-management book is
First Things First, equally excellent.
