| 7 Habits of Highly Effective People |
A classic in personal improvement books, and a lot of good things for project managers. Particularly I found the part on dealing with people the most inspiring for project managers ("Fast is Slow, Slow is Fast"). I really do recommend this book on a personal level as well. |

| Agile and Iterative Development |
Essential book about agile and iterative methodologies. The book reviews the leading methodologies: Scrum, XP, Unified Process and EVO. But first in gives an historical perspective in the creation of those software development methods as an alternative to the failing waterfall model. Very interesting read just for that matter. |

| Critical Chain |
From the author of "The Goal", "Critical Chain" goes into more details on what is critical chain planning. The book is written like a novel so it's kind of entertaining to read (meaning less boring than the PMBOK!). The book first explain the theory of constraints, the identification of the bottleneck in project resources and how to build "buffers". A really good read that leaves you with the desire to go deeper into practical work on critical chain planning. |
