2022 Reading List

In 2022, I plan to read some books to learn to be a product manager, try to understand the world better, and prepare for the upcoming summer internship. I hope 2022 will be a productive and inspiring year for everyone so I want to share my reading list here and share my thoughts after reading the books by updating this post.

This reading list is inspired by fellow aspiring Product Managers and Huiwen Wang, the co-founder and senior vice president of Meituan, one of the world’s largest food delivery services.
