Carol Dweck's Mindset. While unfortunately it has the cover of a self-help book, it's actually a summary of some fascinating psychology research which shows that a certain way of conceptualizing self-improvement tends to be unusually effective at it.
I took a look at Mindset. The book seemed to me extremely repetitive and rambling. Its teachings could be condensed in an article ten or fifteen times shorter. Fortunately, this Stanford Magazine piece seems to accomplish something close to that. So, read the piece, and forget the book.
