Deb Liu discussed several influential books during her appearance on Lenny's Podcast, focusing on themes of professional power, introversion, and social dynamics.

In response to a question about books she frequently recommended to others, Deb recommended Jeffrey Pfeffer's Power: Who Has It and Why, alongside his more practical follow-up, 7 Rules of Power, noting that these texts serve as valuable reminders that power is not merely accidental.
