Get Anyone to Do Anything: Never Feel Powerless Again--With Psychological Secrets to Control and Influence ...
David J. Lieberman
St. Martin's Griffin, 2001
Full of gems. Sections must be read again and again.
I read this book and found this guy to really know what he's talking about. I read and put into action many of the things I read to extraordinary success. After you read it you will be almost pushed to use the knowledge you learn and come back to it as a reference book.

Influencer: The Power to Change Anything
Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, ...
McGraw-Hill, 2007
A fun, readable book (though the subtitle is a bit misleading!)
The title of this book is "Influencer: The Power to Change Anything." I'll call shenanigans on that subtitle, because this is not a book about exercising personal power. Rather, it's a series of case studies that demonstrate how influence can be used in positive ways ...

Julie Sussman, Stephanie Glakas-tenet
Collins Living, 2002
Great handbook for new homeowners: men and women alike!
Except for the girl power cover art and the fun, feminine little anecdotes that precede each section ("If you can paint your nails, you can do this repair. Just don't get the enamels mixed up!"), there isn't much that deciphers this book from any other general home ...

Very funny, especially if you have a non-Yiddish speaker read it out loud.
