The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (REV)
This is a book that you can work through or dip into. Unlike many books of its genre it is very timeless, is very much about authenticity as opposed to adopting techniques.
It crosses the path of both your career and family life so whether you are looking to forge ahead in your career or your role is managing a family and home it is a valuable read. As a parent there is much in this book which will genuinely help you understand how to communicate and motivate your children.
On a personal level this is a book I return to every few months to sharpen the saw (the seventh habit).

Again – if you are having a confidence crisis one to pull out of the bookcase.
