The Book of Five Rings

A classic text on martial arts, startegy, and life philosophy written by Miyamoto Musashi in 1645. Musashi is one of the most famous samurai warriors of Japan winning over 61 sword duels. It's a read for a much wider audience than martial artists and I find it a great short read to ground yourself by absorbing the perspective of someone who faced mortal dangers many times.
