If I'm already mentioning books, I gotta plug my all time favorite here: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I got into her philosophy after noticing that every single highly successful person I'd meet just happened to also be devoted to Rand's philosophy. Just like communism/collectivism is magnet philosophy for bums & losers, Objectivism/Capitalism is a magnet philosophy for highly successful & self-sufficient individuals.

While I love Atlas Shrugged, just a warning that Ayn Rand is quite verbose, and you are in for an over 1000 page monstrosity including 80 pages of one person giving a speech about the same....things..........again.............and..... ....................again. I agree with most of what she says, but be prepared to be reading for quite awhile...
