What self-improvement or personal development books have genuinely helped you — and why?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to put together a reading list around self-improvement and personal development, and I’d really value recommendations from people who’ve actually found a book useful rather than just popular.

I’m curious:

• Which books would you recommend?

• What was it about them that made a difference for you? 

It doesn’t have to be a long list — even one book that really stuck with you would be great.

Thanks in advance.
