Behave
Long, but genuinely one of the best books on why humans do what they do.
Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

Bridges the clinical and the neurological really well.
The Brain That Changes Itself
Neuroplasticity stories that still give me hope on hard days.
Incognito
How much of your brain runs without your permission. Humbling.
Emotional Intelligence
The book that made "EQ" a household term, still relevant.
The Molecule of More

Body maps and proprioception, surprisingly readable.
