The 1950's version of '' THE WAY THINGS WORK''. The book tells you how to make everything from soap and vinegar, to skinning and tanning hides or making a simple lathe. The book was originally written during the bomb shelter era in case civilization to a nosedive and helps to rebuild civilization from scratch. But it is also a good book to have around if you just want to learn how to 'do' for yourself. The 1950's book was in two volumes and was and is still in my opinion, better than the newer version out in one volume today.

two books by Ayn Rand:
The Fountainhead
Atlas Shrugged
Both are the very basis for current neo-liberal thought.
It allows one to realize that a full life can be lived with little moral obligation to altruism.

Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus. It is a guidebook to deal with the opposite sex. Most problems in relationships would be solved by reading this once in a while. Worked for me

"East of Eden" by John Steinbeck-It just had a lot of interpretations of the human soul and messages about shaping your own destiny rolled up with a grrrrrrrreat story!

I'm okay, you're okay. I read that book approximately twenty five years ago and it affects my life to this day. There's more to it, but to put it in a nutshell, if you don't like yourself then you won't like anyone else.
