PMs of WSO: What are books you would wish your juniors have read?

Hello everyone!

In a few weeks I will be starting at a large asset manager as a trainee. I've wanted to ask if you have any book recommendations / specific knowledge that you would wish newcomers like me would already have. I would be very grateful for ideas!

Best wishes
