Of the 100+ I have read, this one is in the top 5. It is actually about generalized semantics, but it can help you figure out what model to base your system on by allowing you to differentiate between your biases and reality.
It also provides a framework to understand the the relationship between things like technical analysis (models) and the reality of prices. It might be too advanced, but it is accessible to a lay person, i.e. a lay person can get something out of it.
Lastly I would say all the successful traders know this, but the vast majority, of posers here on ET, it would be beyond them and not accessible because of their ego.
Winning the Mental Game on Wall Street: The Psychology and Philosophy of Successful Investing: Magee, John, Bassetti, W.H.C.: 9780910944175: Amazon.com: Books
Lastly, if you can get one thing from each book, that is a win, imo
