The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves, by Stephen Grosz. I dunno the genre, I saw "self-help." but I'd think more "psychology." A psychoanalyst recalls patients he's had and their stories and analyzes them and why they did did the things they did. Aside from generally learning about the human condition, which is fascinating in itself, many individual experiences and mindsets are shared by many others, the same patterns repeating themselves over and over. By being aware of them and the subconscious factors behind them, those who share a given pattern are empowered to transcend it. Awareness is freedom. Having some perspective in life like what's in this book is like having a lantern, or maybe a map, while walking through the jungle at night.
Here's another pick: Conversations with God book 3/Neale Donald Walsch/Spirituality. I'm not really up to explaining why it's my favorite because I've done so so many times in the past.
