I am adding the samples to my Nook and will give them a chance. All except the Steve Jobs book, I read it already and well....
I am surprised that you have nothing from Guy Kawasaki. The Art of the Start and his new one Enchantment are very good.

I read one of Kawasaki's books (Reality Check). Oh, but I couldn't wait to finish. It seemed like he was saying the same things repeatedly. I found myself listening to the audiobook shouting (figuratively, in my head, "I GOT IT!"). I had to inflow his Twitter feed (he posts the most messages of any feed I've ever seen). His other books may be very good; admittedly, I haven't read those you mention. Might check 'em out, though. Thanks for posting!
ReWork is good, and here are a few others I'd recommend:
-->Little Bets by Peter Simms: Shows how small experiments can lead to breakthrough ideas.
-->The Lean Startup by Eric Ries: Details the systematic approach to building a successful business. Shows how an iterative, incremental approach can lead you to create winning solutions to customer problems. Ries focuses on experimentation to validate assumptions, and having data drive decisions.
-->Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip Heath and Dan Heath: Whether we're trying to change our own behavior or others, this book is a great resource. As IT professionals, it's often necessary to change others' ways of thinking or doing things, and this book gets your feet wet in how to do that.
-->Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath and Dan Heath: I truly think that copywriting--which is the art of pitching your ideas--is an essential business skill. "Made to Stick" is an engaging intro to how to create memorable, compelling messages.

I recently wrote a book called "Beyond Billing -5 steps to becoming a successful Technology consultant". It is what I call is an "Awareness Shifting" book focused on IT consultants - http://amzn.com/1463720041.
