Well for me it is tie between:

        LSD Psychotherapy - Stanislav Grof

        1. Models for the states found in alternate states of consciousness
        2. Practical directions for psychonauts and those interested in
          personal growth, or automorphing

        For Your Own Good - Alice Miller

        Shows clearly how subtle, pervasive and distorting the influence
        of bad child rearing practices, relation to violence and suppression
        of self, only explanation of Holocaust that I have found that makes
        any kind of sense.

Why psych books? Cuz personal growth is the key to finding values which
work, and those we need very badly now...
