The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Stoic, Roman emperor and philosophy. Good advice for when you need to pull your socks up and get on with it.
Goethe’s Maxims and Reflections, which is the kind of book you open at random and find something useful.
And an entertaining and possibly enlightening activity – head to Project Gutenberg and look for letters and advice. All the books there are out of copyright, which makes them all vintage. There are some treasures to be discovered (including a free copy of the Goethe).
