Well the only one that I can think about right now is more about organizing but to me is vital to personal development, called Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen.

1. The Bible, especially the book of Proverbs
2. Getting Things Done
3. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
4. Think & Grow Rich
5. Acres of Diamonds

1. The Essential Marcus Aurelius - Needleman / Piazza
2. The power of focus - Jack Canfield
3. Dig your well before you're thirsty - Harvey Mackay
4. Tuesdays with morrie - Mitch Albom
5. Secrets of the millionaire mind - T.Harv Ecker

I liked them all. However, as for all-time best, I need more time to consider that..

An excellent book!

I used to read personal development books all the time. But I gave it up and started working on MY personal development.

1. Excuse me your life is waiting - Lynn Grabhorns
It took me so long to read this book but it was eye opening when I did!

2. The Artists Way - Julia Cameron
This one wasn't what I was expecting (I didn't consider myself an artist in any way) but I got into the habit of wandering in my local library and picking up the first book that caught my attention. It was so good I actually bought a copy and this book has changed my daily routine.

3. Your Best Year Yet - Jinny Ditzler
This is how I set my yearly goals now. It asks questions that require you to examine your life and the roles that we play and prioritise them.

4. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
A book I re-read since I get something else out of it every time I do.

5. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
Another book that took me ages to pick up since I thought it was about manipulation
