I echo the comments made earlier about Jung and Nietzsche. I read a few things by them in my late teens and they, along with copious amounts of drugs, really broadened my way of thinking. I only have a couple of additions that haven't been mentioned.
One is The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which I read over the course of a couple years. It basically details Buddhist ideas of how to prepare for death, and what awaits after. I don't consider myself to be a Buddhist, but this book definitely opened my eyes as far as what I knew about ideas of various religions, and the world in general.
The other is The Art of War, which is read more by business-types for strategy nowdays, but I found to be applicable for any type of situation that calls for overcoming of some kind of obstacle. It advocates total awareness, winning without confrontation, and other things I just never thought to do prior to reading it.
