Good morning! Thanks so much for the book list—each title looks like a powerful gateway into the world of project management. I haven’t read any of them yet, so I’m excited to explore these fresh perspectives. The mix of frameworks, mindset, and agile thinking is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I truly appreciate the recommendation and will keep you posted as I dive in!

Excellent list thus far.

I'd add the Project Management handbook by Antonio Nieto.

Also, other books not necessarily about PM but truly inspiring such as Leader eat last, by Sinek; The 7 habits of highly effective people, by Covey; and The Laws of simplicity, by Maeda.
