The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman is a wonderful book that you can read a very short chapter each day. It's very insightful. In a similar vain, Aesop's Fables can help raise your emotionall intelligence.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain gave me a lot clarity on introversion/extroversion. It gives good examples of people tailoring activities and interactions to their personality type and being effective in different contexts.

The Undercover Economist and Freakonomics has made me think more deeply about data analysis and behavioral patterns.
