I’ve already read Eric Berne, Dyer, Branden, McKenna.
Try Anthony Robbins books like unlimited power or Unleash the Giant Within. He has a very practical and pro-active style about helping motivate yourself and achieve things. A lot of his work is also about communication and how to read people.
He is world famous and does huge seminars around the world so i would think i’d be correct to put it in the "best" category.
Another book i know is "The Road less Travelled" by Scott Peck. Also very famous and worth a read.

This might seem hokey but I found the following book to be fairly profound: The Velveteen Principles: a guide to becoming real.
According to Author Toni Raiten-D’Antonio there are key principles taught in the children’s classic book The Velveteen Rabbit that can be applied to life. What was the Velveteen Rabbit trying to do anyway? He was trying to become REAL.
From the website:
The Velveteen Principles is a guide to becoming Real–real with ourselves, real with our hopes and desires, real with the people we love, and real with everyone else, too. Through the simple wisdom of a children’s classic, it invites us to strip off the trappings of the object culture and remember the things that make us unique, happy and worthy of love. And it shows us that, just as it was for the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams’ enduring fable, Real is a process that is sometimes intimidating and sometimes painful, but in the end far more rewarding than we ever could have imagined. In a time when the pursuit of instant gratification and the stress of daily life can swamp us and cause us to "break easily or have sharp edges," this book offers a safe and steady course toward peace, self-acceptance and true love.
From me: I found the book thought-provoking and wise…and very uplifting. It’s an easy read and sticks with you for a long time.
