A book related to a skill

[Stina]

This can be interpreted pretty broadly, but I'll probably use this for QuickBooks For Dummies ,which I've just put on hold at the library. What skills are you reading about this year?

"Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas" by Adam Kay. Kay was an OB/GYN registrar, so very nearly consultant, when he burnt out and left the medical profession. His first book was a best seller and has been made into a stage production (perhaps also is being filmed?). This is a tiny, very brief sequel to that, concerning working as a young, ethnically Jewish doctor over Christmas EVERY SINGLE YEAR, because the NHS is overstretched, he was young, he didn't have children, and because he is Jewish. It is quite funny, but it can also pack a sucker punch.

Violence Risk & Threat Assessment: A Practical Guide for Mental Health & Criminal Justice Professionals.
All about how to determine if a client/patient is at risk of being violent against others. Not sure if I really want to become proficient at this skill, but it is a very good guide.
