The Omnivorous Mind: Our Evolving Relationship with Food by anthropologist John S Allen.
I'm not sure if a single book has the ability to change someone's life. But the kind of books, and one's consistency in reading them, can definitely help shape one's point of view. That said, in the genre of scientific literature, Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human by primatologist Richard Wrangham was one that really got me interested in the nature of its content.
Any comic book written by Garth Ennis or David Mack. Comics have always been underrated, I guess, and each of these authors have proven themselves great, albeit for different reasons. Ennis's knowledge on recent European history and the nature of human interaction is up there with anyone from the so-called literary world you would dare compare it with. The same goes for David's knowledge of recent Japanese history and his ability to construct solid stories with some amazing artwork. Preacher by Ennis or Mack's Kabuki are two clear cases in point.
Charles Bukowski's Henry Chinaski. Or Alan Moore's John Constantine. I'm a sucker for anti-heroes. Real or fictional.
Two are very memorable to me, both by Bukowski: "Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead," and "I do not have time for things that have no soul". It's hard to sum up their meaning in brief, but the first one makes reference to living your life truthfully, without giving concessions to what standardised society expects of you. And the second refers to the fact that even with someone you just met, you can be honest about feelings. Talking about football or the weather is not my thing. I dislike football and can't do anything about the weather, but I can certainly look at you and ask you how you feel.
