I'm 70% through 'Do You' by Russell Simmons (hip hop mogul), it's surprisingly awesome

Links in closely with Eckhart Tolle as well (hes actually mentioned a few times in the book)

My favourite is "The 8th habit" by S Covey.
Also, books from D Carnegi.

The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin

Someone else already recommended this book, but I would like to second the recommendation. Josh lives his life with such intensity that he has an incredible amount of wisdom to share for such a young guy. This book really struck a cord with me because I want to approach life and perpetual learning the way Josh does.

Now that I'm done with this book, I want to read more about performance psychology of athletes, philosophy and brain science (and chess).

A great book recommendation that I believe is fantastic is The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

I would love to know your thoughts if you have read this book as well.

Default Best Book of 2008 - A Must Read for Business People

I recently read a new book by Clifton Lambreth. The title was Ford and the American Dream - Founded on Right Decisions. This book takes doing the right thing at all cost to a new level. Everyone in American can learn from the new Ford book. Clifton Lambreth after 20 years with Ford decided to do the right thing by Writing a book about everything that went wrong at Ford while still working there and then sent first copy to CEO. Mr. Lambreth in Ford and the American Dream actually laid out a plan for recovery and I thin Ford seems to be listening. Hats off to Clifton Lambreth for having the courage to do the right thing!
Checkout the website
Ford and the American Dream: Founded On Right Decisions: Clifton Lambreth, Mary Calia, Melissa Webb

This guy is out giving speeches and saying
"Do the right thing at the right time with the right motivation and you will get the right results!"
