Be more specific, because I could give you a whole lot of recommendations based on this criteria alone.
What are you hoping to achieve Anon?

Sorry I don't speak english well, I speak french
I'm looking to develop a new way thinking also some financial advice, and be more "happy to live" because I'm a little depersonalized in my inside..
I've read dale carnegie, napoleon hill and my favourite robert anton wilson.

Well since you're French, you might start out with The Stranger in seeking happiness.
Though these are mostly philosophical and will have less to do with practicality.
Here, good luck
You need to ditch the "pls-tell-me-wat-to-do" mentality and get into the habit of scrutinizing what you read.
It all boils down to being able to solve problems; and nothing is more potent at that than logic and mathematics. There is a reason it is neutral (strictly speaking not wholly true, but you need to convince yourself of this until you're advanced enough) and a perfect instrument for this. You need to attain a certain point in your knowledge that you're able to examine, independently, somebody's line of thought, see through it, see what's wrong with it, and so on. As you progress, things you once perceived as hard, difficult, or complex, should slowly begin to untangle, etc.

read Raw's other works like
>The Cosmic Trigger Trilogy
>Quantum Psychology
and his fiction work is just as good for self development
>The Illuminatus! Trilogy

>Tolstoy's Gospels
>The Upanishads
>Aristotle's Ethics
>Confucian works
>Tao Te Ching (Dao De Zhing)
>Epicurus
Are all really good recommendations, and you should read all of these if you can. But what I would overwhelming recommend in a true existential search is the Old Testament. I could only recommend English translations (the best being the King James Version and Robert Alter's more recent translations) but in the Hebrew bibles you find, first of all, the first example of epic prose, and a historicized vision of time often struggling to reconcile divine predetermination with the entropy of free human will, or the constancy of a divine plan with the inconsistency of history. A literary analysis of the Bible is what I emphasize, theologically I prefer Tolstoy's Gospels of Meister Ekchart's works.
Antifragile by Nassim Taleb is a good starting point.
