The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey could be described in multiple ways. It is a philosophical book using tennis as a tool to explain his thoughts.

Zero to One
I have read Zero to One by Peter Thiel three times. And with every re-read, I have more appreciation for the wisdom that Thiel shares.
