Book recommendations?

Finally getting back into reading after a while. Any good book recommendations? Looking more for positive mindset or habit building type of reads, but open to any professional development books.

The Challenger Sale is great.  Being honest with they type of seller you are and developing skills to become a Challenger is critical

Agreed with others who posted Extreme Ownership. That book changed my life for sure. 

Additionally I'd recommend 

1) The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. It's a novel about a person trying to improve the output of a factory. It's a great book on process management and management in general.

2) How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Betcher. Most of this book is dated, but once you get past the parts about how to organize your rolodex, the parts about motivation are very valuable.

+1 on Extreme Ownership. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Covey is fantastic. Start with those two.

Addicted to the Process by Scott Leese is a great read! Very easily digestible and does a fantastic job of helping people who never thought they would go into sales relate to the role and find a method to accentuate their own personal strengths to find success. I'm a team lead responsible for training entry-level sales reps in a SMB market, and one of the biggest struggles my reps have to overcome is the feeling that "this (sales) isn't for me" after facing some rejection early on. Sales isn't for everyone, so it's definitely not the goal to convince everyone to stay, but this book has given me plenty of ideas about how to help them understand the bigger picture and find a way to make this an area where they can thrive!

Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins -- Not for the faint of heart, but nothing a true Sales Savage can't handle! He speaks about his personal journey about overcoming significant odds and find success through mental discipline, grit, work ethic, and sheer force of will. Very refreshing perspective, especially as an alternative to the typical "Law of Attraction" stuff out there about just being positive and everything you dream about will come true. It's about getting real with yourself and figuring out exactly what you are willing to do to change your perception and forge onwards. Easily one of the most inspiring books I've read, and extremely applicable to the sales role.

I'm reading The Transparency Sale - Todd Caponi and it might be one of the best I've ever read.

Selling is Hard, Buying is Harder by Garin Hess -- Don't let the title fool you, this book talks about the concept of "buyer enablement" and very crucial in selling today

Not geared specifically towards sales, but Grit by Angela Duckworth - learning how to build positive habits, how to consistently work hard and stick with your goal to achieve great things. Rather than assuming that those who are top of their fields are simply 'gifted'
