Hi Musab,

If you go here: https://www.scrum.org/resources/suggested-reading-professional-scrum-master you can see books that are aligned to each of the subject domains for a PSM.

My plan is to read at least 1 of the books from each of the domains (or more) before I invest in the PSM II assessment.  Hope this helps!

The books cover pretty much everything you will be asked in the exams.

I liked peopleware, dysfunctions of a team and radical management a lot and I would recommend them to scrummasters and managers. I personally learned most from these, they provide a lot of good stuff about self organizing teams.

I do think the books with "scrum" in their names will help you more during the exams. I (gladly) read scrum a pocket guide before every attempt.
