If I had to choose 5 books on “success” in the most general sense to give my descendents, not knowing what place or time period they were living in, I’d pick the following:
1. Ecclesiastes
2. Proverbs
3. Patton on Leadership
4. How to Win Friends and Influence People
5. The Art of War
Sun Tzu should get higher billing but the generalized concepts require a lot of experience to understand.
