Here's my recommendations without any particular order and just books ive read recently and havent sorted into the library.

Factfullness by Hans rosling: The world is awesome, stop focusing on some tiny negatives that are being mispresented by the media.

Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir: Contemporary top scifi author

Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein: The movie was awesome, until you read the book and see the movie as an abomination.

Pheonix and Unicorn Projects by Gene Kim: Devops > ITIL.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: Stoicism, how to be a good leader, how to live life.

How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie: Everyone should be forced to read this multiple times. I really need to re-read.

Lying by Sam Harris: Seriously don't lie. You'll find things get better unexpectedly.

12 rules for life by Jordan Peterson: Here comes the downvotes.
