I recnetly read through the book "Half Time" by Bob Buford
Bobg is a guy who owns 40% of the cable networks around the country, woke up ione day and realized everything he was doing was off the path he was supposed to be on. He reorganized his life, and he works 1/3 of his time, he gives to charity 1/3 of his time, and he donates 1/3 of his income to what he feels God would want him to do with the wealth he became steward of.
It was a very powerful, very motivating book, and though there is a religious tone set inside, you don't necessarily have to be a Christian, or follow the faith you are to gain a whole bunch of stuff from it.
What it did for me was make me look at this rat race we are all partcipating in and examine what I should really be doing with my spare time, and see how I can maximize any effort I give to help others in a variety of ways.
I am not a big reader, I usually do CD's, but this one, Half Time, is iun my opinion, a must read for all..
