Community Management Book Recommendations

Question

Hello all! I've perused the Resource Center and found a good number of book recommendations, thank you to those who shared! But I'm wondering if any of the other users have recommendations themselves. I am a CM in the video game industry, so I tend to slant my readings towards game-related topics. I'd be interested to hear what everyone has read that has helped them as a Community Manager or even for CM mental healthiness.

Thank you!

Not categorised as a book on community management, but I strongly recommend "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely which explains the fundamental irrational ways we behave every day. So many insights that are incredibly useful in building effective communities, more so for the gaming industry.
