Non-poker books that could help your game

Hey guys, I'm currently reading Make It Stick, which is a book about learning. It references a lot of scientific studies into how we learn most effectively and lays out strategies for this. This naturally applies directly to what we're all trying to do here, which is to learn to play better poker.

I've also started in a book called 'Secrets of Mental Math', which teaches you tricks to do difficult calculations quickly in your head. I'm not entirely sure yet just how applicable this will be to actually playing poker, but it is certainly fun.

Next on my reading list is Drive by Daniel Pink, which is about motivation. Haven't started in this one yet, but it is clear how employing good strategies for staying motivated can be applied to our poker careers.

I would like to use this topic to discuss these books if you have read them and for you guys to recommend others that have helped you in some way. What I urge you not to do is to just post the title of a book, please elaborate what you got out of it and why we should be reading it if you can.
