My Reading List as a Product Leader

This reading list was a result of my absurd levels of curiosity
PS
Priyadeep Sinha
Hey there!
This is a list of all books that I have read since September 2021, am reading or will be picking up to read very soon.
There is a good balance and diversity, and most of these books are recommendations by product leaders and experts whom I follow diligently.
My core drivers that led me to this reading list is:
What helps me understand myself better - strengthen strengths and work on weaknesses
What helps me understand other humans and human-interactions better - be a better connector
What helps me connect ‘disconnected topics or concepts’ and use them in the real world
What helps me build products with constantly wow user experience
