Self-help books that really help!

I'm a self-help addict.  Don't get me wrong - I don't have weird problems that I've been in therapy for for years and years, I just love a good book that teaches you how to do something new and become a better person.

This is a list of the best self-improvement books as I've read them.  Feel free to agree or disagree, but in any case, try them out. You may be pleasantly surprised!
