Books about directing that actors should read

Here is the secret that no casting directors and no agents would tell you. Most of the directors are absolutely scared, even terrified, by actors. Judith Weston, in two of her books, "Directing Actors" and "The Film Director's Intuition," not only teach directors how to work with actors but also teaches actors how to work with directors.

If you want to be a director who works well with actors or an actor who works well with the director. I hope you are, then this is a good read for you.
