Books on Corporate Development or Strategy?

Monkey Business, Straight to Hell, and Discussion Materials were all great books that explained what IB was like from a firsthand perspective instead of a theoretical or textbook perspective. Are there any books out there that do the same for corporate development or strategy roles? Reading those books helped me a lot in networking and understanding IB, I’d love to do the same for CF roles.

If not, what books/podcasts made you want to be in this area or give a good breakdown of it all?
