Guys, any Product Management books/courses/certifications that have really changed your outlook towards the PM art. I am more interested in knowing the sources which have really helped you in improving your PM game and you also have applied its learning in real time just to make the knowledge more meaningful and concrete.

I am a mid level PM and looking for meaningful material and not the usual PM stuff/recommendations.
