Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici. While it didn't change my life it did change my thinking. It's one of those books that kinda connects the dots between historical events.
Richard Wright's: Black Boy
During the early to mid eighties, these books had me open. Lead to a lot of trouble too.

THAT BOOK WAS AMAZING!
I read that after this white blonde hair blue eyed polish chick I knew was like that was her favorite book but it was about a black boy growing up in Harlem -
Had to check it out - was not disappointed.
Almost forgot this one
Thank you! I was gonna post this one. Very inisghtful
The autobiography of Ghandi. I try to re-read this book periodically. From diet, to the power of meditation, and the value of long reflective walks, this book is the example that I try to base my life upon.
This is a great book. It shaped my political life, in that it made me realize that humanity is estranged. Moreover, it made me realize that political solutions to social problems which do not reflect that reality will fail.
I can't afford to go to India, or Japan, and have a guru train me in meditation. However, this book is the next best thing. In very easy to understand language, it teaches one how to meditate and deals with all the problems a novice, such as myself, faces when trying to learn to meditate.
What can I say about this book, it's my writing guide. This books solves every problem a writer faces, from learning to avoid writing in passive voice, to learning how to recognize and avoid fragmented sentences. I owe much of my academic success to this book.
I would have added the Ralp Ellison's The Invisible Man, too, but that's been mentioned enough.

I was given a Hard Cover of this book awhile back. Rourke's Speech in court was powerful!
When I was in my 20's, this book had me in a whole different mind state.

Forgot about this one.
Reginald Lewis built a billion dollar empire but passed away from a brain hemorrhage. He lived it though.
A must read, very insirational.
Why Should White Guys Have All The Fun
by Reginald Lewis
To date I believe Mr. lewis is still the only person to be admitted to Harvard Law School without going through the formal admittance requirements!
This book is Excellent. I Stupidly loaned my copy to a History Instructor and never got it back
There are some nice Reads in this Thread.
Here's a couple that I've read that helped me to understand different views on why things are the way they are.
