The Black Swan and Antifragile, from Nassim Taleb. Made me doubt about how I can plan and predict the future, or for what it worths what I known.
The selfish gene from Richard Dawkins. And upside-down look at evolution. Sometimes totally different reasons explain better what seems obvious.
You are not so smart from David McRaney. An easy to read introduction to cognitive bias.
They are not mean to be accurate or the best on their kind, but they did caused some changes on me.

Books on mindfulness and meditation have played a big part in my life. There are many good ones out there, so I wont recommend a particular one, but I would suggest, instead, going to a physical book store and look through the books and find one that looks good for you.
What books have changed the way you think?
