Default Best Success Books

I'm looking for success book recommendations.

I've read dozens of success books recently. Nearly all of them are crap. The gurus pretend to unleash the "secrets" of success that, if applied, guarantee life transformation. They like to organize their secrets in a special "system" that is "unique." Their alliterative advice keys often leave out really important topics like how to choose good goals (not just how to achieve them) or how to pick a spouse wisely or how to succeed in certain specific situations.

One of my favorites so far that bucked the trend was John T. Reed's "Succeeding", a no-nonsense breakdown of success principles for all the important areas of life.

What success books are actually worth my time?
