1 Actually change the way I work
While ALL CHANGE!/The Project Manager's Secret Handbook has a great series of steps for properly managing your projects (it takes up the reverse half of the book), Obeng's focus is on helping you get the right thinking on your project. No easy answers like in most management books, but ways to approach projects and manage them to a successful completion.

The first half, ALL CHANGE!, is actually a narrative about a project manager coming to understand why his projects always seem to go wrong.

I'd compare this to Mythical Man-Month in how much it shaped my thinking.

The feeling persists that no one can simultaneously be a respectable writer

and understand how a refrigerator works, just as no gentleman wears a brown

suit in the city.  Colleges may be to blame.  English majors are encouraged,

I know, to hate chemistry and physics, and to be proud because they are not

dull and creepy and humorless and war-oriented like the engineers across the

quad.  And our most impressive critics have commonly been such English majors,

and they are squeamish about technology to this very day.  So it is natural

for them to despise science fiction.
