Search Inside Yourself: The unexpected path to achieving success, happiness (and world peace) by Chade-Meng Tan
This is a wonderful, informative and humorous book written by a Google engineer. Based off a series of tech talks, Meng focuses on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and how to achieve personal happiness (and therefore world peace). I've found it extremely useful and enlightening. Meng does a wonderful job breaking down psychological concepts into "everyday" black and white language that even engineers can understand.
Chapter titles include topics such as "Breathing as if your life depends on it;” "All natural, organic self-confidence;” "Making profits, rowing across oceans, and saving the world;” and "Being effective and loved at the same time." The book includes detailed descriptions of practice exercises for implementing the concepts into your own life. Great read!
