This book shaped me. I read it in high school as a tennis team assignment, but still find quotes come to mind from it when I'm in tough situations.

You don't need to read it cover to cover, but it's worth pulling some concepts out of.

The book is no longer new, but is still very timely and uselful. Love the concept applied to business and particularly a job search. Lots of great tips and motivators.
