Ok, here are a few... I have thousands of great business/ marketing / sales, self improvement books in my library.
The Art of Seduction - Robert Greene - "get what you want by manipulating everyone's greatest weakness: The desire for pleasure
War: Robert Greene the 33 strategies of war; from the bloody battles of history, strategies for winning the subtle social game of everyday life
The 48 laws of Power - Robert Greene
If you didn't notice, I'm a fan of Robert Green, his books are well researched, applicable and entertaining... they're big volumes (average 400 pages) but are broken up into short articles, sidebars, etc. for reading in small batches. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Persuasion Engineering: Richard Bandler / Lavalle. NLP applied to sales & persuasion
Triggers - Joseph Sugarman. From the man who sold the world blu-blockers, 30 sales tools you can use to control the mind of your prospect to motivate, influence & persuade. Out of print, but available on amazon used for about $45.
Influence- Robert Cialdini- professor of psychology at ASU explores the science & practice of influence
Personal Development for Smart People - Steve Pavlina - popular personal dev. blogger steve pavlina's opus on ... you guessed it: personal development
Psycho-Cybernetics - Maxwell Maltz MD, FICS - a plastic surgeon, Maltz pioneered the concept of 'self-image' and created a set of tools to use your subconscious power for personal development. A pioneer in visualization, many of his techniques formed the base of what is now NLP (1960)
The E-Myth Revisited, E-myth Mastery, and Awakening the Entrepreneur within - Michael gerber... the E-myth is that business owners are entrepreneurs. But most are actually technitians who had an entreprenurial siezure - how to stop working IN your business and start working ON your business...
