Product Management 101 Reading List

This is a curated list based on recommendations of experienced friends / professional references on how I should start building knowledge to become a great product manager.

My goal here is to immerse myself on the concepts of product management and soak up as much knowledge possible to implement this on my day-to-day routine.

Remember (how to learn something):

focus on what's interesting,
ignore (skip) what's boring
you don't have the obligation to read the whole book. read only what's appealing to you. if it's trash, throw it away.
take smart notes and write a guide summarizing your findings to make this knowledge more accessible to rookies in the future

First skim the books to see if they are useful or not.
While skimming, take note of the important parts (but don't fully read them. just note down what you think is important)
Come back and read the important parts carefully and summarize them
Don't read the parts you don't find interesting, and don't feel guilty about that. This is not a school assignment, no one is going to judge you for that. Take what you want, and leave.
If the book is not useful or interesting, drop it and forget it. Do not waste your time and energy by forcing yourself to read something you don't want to.
I've found the Inspired Product Management and Cracking the PM Interview Books to be uninteresting, so I just ignored them.
There are probably things that I lost by doing that, but I invested this time in learning things I actually find interesting and inspiring, so I think it was a net positive.

For Skimming:
