Books are great! They give you a detailed view into the minds of great thinkers within a much shorter period.
However, it still takes a substantial effort and commitment to read, internalize, and practice what is written in a book.
Today, in this collective, we will share the top recommended books for product managers, and their summaries curated from the best resources.
Note: While these summaries do a great job of giving a glimpse of major learnings of the program, they cannot be an alternative to reading the book itself. Please consider these summaries only as a trailer to decide if you are curious enough to read the whole book.
Let’s go!
