A very yellowed copy of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It was not that it changed me or my approach but it did make me realize some of what I could do differently.
Also Robert Moore's "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine." It was one of the better books of its type I've read, giving some strategies for observing and modifying my behaviors. Robert Bly's "Iron John" was good but more obtuse. Joseph Campbell's mythology books do not connect the archetypes to male psychology in any practical way.
