"The same book won't work for every situation, or every person, so you'll see titles sitting beside one another that might not normally share shelf space."In other words, while this list does include books by traditional business people, you'll also find works by outspoken entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, and Hollywood producers.What each of these authors shares is a desire to help people find out what they really want — and to make their dreams a reality.Check out the full, ranked list below, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/amazons-top-25-leadership-and-success-books-2016-2">learn more about the top 25 here</a>.<ol><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/21mJ5tx">#Girlboss</a>" by Sophia Amoruso</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/21mJb4u">A New Earth</a>" by Eckhart Tolle</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/1TIt6S2">Andrew Carnegie</a>" by David Nasaw</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/1XPKEuy">Awaken the Giant Within</a>" by Tony Robbins</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/1n1yHVp">Big Magic</a>" by Elizabeth Gilbert</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/1n1yIIG">Business Adventures</a>" by John Brooks</li><li>"<a href="http://amzn.to/1n1yLEl">Change Your Brain, Change Your Life</a>" by Daniel G.
