Are there any books that you feel gave you a genuine advantage over others for having read it?

Book? No. Being an early sex-haver is what gave me the most significant advantage: even before turning 20 I already knew that women are dishonest whores.

Nonviolent Communication. I don't use it all the time or anything (I did at the beginning) but it basically clarified how to hear people. All my 20 years of life I had been talking to people but never actually hearing them, or not remotely as clearly as I did after just briefly reading that book. It sounds dumb but it really did feel like wow how was I existing prior to this.
