Dream with Your Eyes Open, Ronnie Screwvala.
One of the best ones I've read.

Zorba the Greek, by Nikos Kazantakis. To date it's the only book that has made me literally shed a tear. So moving, descriptive, and exploring the human spirit and soul like no other novel I have ever read. (Yes the film is also good, but it simply cannot compare with Kazantakis' words and prose).

4321 by Paul Auster. It's a 1000-page overview of how different life can be for the same person depending on small distinctions in his environment.

Homo Deus - Yuval Noah Harari. Sometimes the tonality / his personal beliefs are glaringly obvious but the subject matter and his vision for the future of humanity are insightful.
I really enjoyed reading "Cloud Cuckoo Land." I used to enjoy reading nonfiction primary, but now I love reading fiction.
One of my all time favourites is "Good to Great". It completely changed my mindset on how to build stuff stuff and approach problems. Then there's "Shoe Dog", which is about Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. It's just a great story about determination, expertise and making something valuable. Same goes for "Delivering Happiness".
I know you just asked for one, but it's just too hard to pick!
