The Book of Why by Judea Pearl was good, and informative, and left me wanting to find a good textbook on the subject with practice problems so I can apply the concepts in my real life causality problems. Unfortunately it seems the textbooks on causal inference aren't quite designed that way, and I may need to learn R before proceeding.
It's already a well regarded title, so perhaps you've read it already, but Never Split the Difference was a pretty good book on negotiation, focused on navigating the emotional barriers to a mutual agreement. I'd put off reading it because the title sounded trite: "focus on win-win situations!" but really the book is about defusing conflict, and persuading people to agree to things already in their best interest, not brainstorming outside-the-box solutions to things.
