High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik you mean.

+1 for the recommendation. I always found it hard to learn about networking from the traditional textbooks and this answered a lot of the questions that I always wondered about.

Wow, never expected The Jazz Theory Book or Effortless Mastery to show up on HN. I'll add The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine and Jamey Abersold vol. 1 How To Play Jazz and Improvise

High Performance Browser Networking (https://hpbn.co) is a fantastic book. It was written by Ilya Grigorik though.

Do you think non-musicians could benefit from Effortless Mastery?

I think so but perhaps more general mindfulness resources may be better places to start
