Disclaimer: Going forward, I’m including a variation to the set of 6th learning. I’ll be including a set of 6 books that I personally recommend. Why am I doing this? Recently I finished this book and the time spent over the book gave me innumerable learnings. I’ll soon be collecting all the learnings from this book and will publish a dedicated article on this. With my recent learning, I believe good book recommendations are a gold mine for the readers like you and me. So here you go! PS: you may find affiliate links to my recommendations.
