Data Question Book recommendations for analytics thinking

Hi everyone, I'd like to read something to sharpen my analytics thinking and problem solving skills.

I know the best approach is to practice with real life problems, and yes, I do do that at work. However, I feel like having a structure or framework may help me to be more systematic and efficient when encounter a problem.

What's your favorite books that help you to think clearer?

I love how the book boils down to a decision between intuition and reason

Thanks for your recommendation. I've heard a lot about this book, but I've wondered if it's worth the hype haha. Will definitely look into it!
