I just want to plug in two books by Alice Miller, mainly about childhood, the effects of growing up in a 'not-good' environment - that sort of thing. I found her to be very level-headed.

[1] The Drama of Being a Child by Alice Miller (also know by the IMO bad title 'The Drama of the Gifted Child')

[2] For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence by Alice Miller

Edit: Also a good comic named 'On a Plate':

Anyone who wants a very good modern C book that's only 272 pages, take a look at 'Effective C - An Introduction to Professional C Programming by Robert C. Seacord. [1]. It's from 2020.

Robert Seacord is a Technical Director at NCC Group where he develops and delivers secure coding training in C, C++, and other languages. Seacord is an expert on the C Standards committee. > That's some solid credentials. He focuses on secure C code in the book.

Here's a short article on why he wrote the book [2].
