This is an outstanding list. About the book at the top of the list: There are several editions of "Think and Grow Rich" available. My favorite is "Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised," edited by Ross Cornwell, who restored parts of Napoleon Hill's original 1937 manuscript that were cut out of the book in the 1960s. Cornwell has also annotated the book (more than 170 endnotes) and added extremely useful features such as an appendix and a complete index of the book -- something it had never had in all the years it has been published. This book goes into my briefcase every time I go to work, go home from work, or travel. Not a day passes that I do not study up on one of the 13 Steps to Riches. The book is really indispensable.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I would also like to add "Leadership Wisdom from the Monk who Sold his Ferrari" to the list. This is an amazing work by Robin Sharma. The rituals are very simple and i think, a visionary leader would definitely like to go through the list.
