As a relatively new PM, some things that I have found helpful: 1. Books: Inspired, Build, Hooked, Continuous Discovery Habits 2. Podcasts: Lenny's Podcast, In Depth 3. Communities: I joined a few slack communities and was able to make connections with more senior PMs. Good luck!

@racheej Thank you. Slack communities I found a few, but did not find those useful. Possible to point to some good slack communities?

Hi! Best of luck with your PM journey :) Start with these books: 1. Hooked - https://www.amazon.com/Hooked-Ho... 2. Inspired - https://www.amazon.com/INSPIRED-... 3. Zero to One - https://www.amazon.com/Zero-One-... 4. Good Strategy, Bad Strategy http://dspace.vnbrims.org:13000/... 5. Intercom on Product Management - https://www.intercom.com/resourc... 6. Lean Analytics - https://www.amazon.com/Lean-Anal... 7. Playing to Win - https://www.amazon.com/Playing-W... I could also recommend this course - https://gopractice.io/course/pm/. It is really helpful if you want to make data-driven decisions.

@elizabeth_boyarko Thank you. I have read Hooked, but going to check out others. Is there any place where I can find best practices for PMs?

Here are a few things from my side. 1. Talk to your customers. It is good to know how they think / see the product 2. Dig your competitors. Very much under-rated. 3. Lastly ask questions, keep learning.
