It’d be nice to list the names of the books, rather than just links. I’m curious about your suggestions, but don’t necessarily want to visit Amazon.

The books are "Have Fun at Work" and "Friends in High Places," both by William L. Livingston

Do you know any other books around the same topic. I'm not sure what good keywords would be for this. Ebooks preferrably. Looks interesting.
