The last books that really inspired me were "The four-hour work week" by Tim Ferris and The E-myth by Micheal Gerber. Talk about changing the way you look at your business!

Rich Dad, Poor Dad motivated me to buy my first property.
Think and Grow Rich motivated me to move out of that property and closer to a well known investor so I could get into business with him even though I hadn't really ever done a deal.
I still have that property as a rental and I am doing quite a bit of business with that investor these days.

#1 think and grow rich/ master key system
#2 how to influence people and friends/ confidence and power in dealing with people- low self esteem = fiction with others. It makes you pity people with nasty attitudes.
#3 rich dad poor dad- Directed me to real estate.
#4 the 4 hour work week
Most inspirational book I've read is The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.
He describes living life and childhood dreams from the terminally ill cancer patient's point of view.
Pausch also gave the lecture, which the book is based off of a few years ago. A video of it is on Youtube, and in my opinion, is very moving.

"The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield
"Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins
"Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki
It's hard to pick just one.
For personal philosophy, I would put Rand's Big 3 way at the top of the list. (Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, and Anthem).
For putting things into practice, probably one of the most influential books I read was The Goal by Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt.
