Ask HN: Book recommendations

2 points by mishftw ↗ HN
Hey HN community, I've slacked off on reading in the past month or so because I have run out of material. Are there any books you wanted to share? Can be any genre/subject but please leave a title/author and why you recommend it!

If I may recommend my own: Right to Left: The digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile, Mike Burrows (2019, audiobook 2020).

I completely get why we have Agile doubters and haters here and I present something outcome-oriented, neither backlog-driven nor imposed solution (both “left to right” by the book’s central metaphor). Also – and under the lightest of disguises – a leadership book.

Edit: That and my previous book both have extensive reading lists [1, 2]. There are more references in the patterns pages at [3].
