A lot depends on the realm/subject.
About art, I loved Irving Stone's Lust for Life, which taught me about art and life, and i ate up Walter Isaacson's Leonardo Davinci. a story of an amazing, brilliant man.
As far as a single book in medicine that had a profound effect on my career, it was written by Berton Rouche, not a physician, that dealt with uncovering unusual diseases in the public sphere, Medical Detectives.
History wise the recent Ullrich histories of the rise of Nazi Germany were profoundly troubling. To me the most important read is the one Ascent, 1889-1939
