The Business of Living by Cesar Pavese. Balancing the pleasure and pains from your personal life (love and struggles) and work (highs and lows) can be absolutely devastating. This is a diary before the author commits suicide.

@bmfteixeira interesting! And also pertinent. Thank you!
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I was really attracted by the philosophy described when I first read. I thought a very big part of what was said in the book has perfectly solidified my belief in work and in life.

David Lynch's Catching the Big Fish - great for meditation and holding on/finding big ideas
Patricia Ryan Madsen's Improv Wisdom - helped turn me into a better "on my feet" thinker; improve wisdom is applicable to so many life areas
Steven Pressfield's The War of Art - good "butt in chair" approach
Tools of Titans/Tribe of Mentors, both by Tim Ferriss - excellent interview series with some very cool humans

@loud_coffee_press heard so much about David Lynch. Thank you for the reminder!
I am a huge Seth Godin fan. Linchpin changed how I think about my work. Purple Cow changed how I think about product creation. Tribes changed how I market the products I create.
