I found psychology books were the most helpful for me, in particular I like Nurture by Nature. As much as MBTI is a sham, this book doesn't really try to place everyone into a little box but tries to explore the differences between personality types as it relates to parenting, using the MBTI more like reference points and understandable words than prescriptive categories.

Another good book that is interesting, though I don't agree with a lot of it, is Games People Play. This is just an interesting look into the psychology behind social interactions, it's a bit too prescriptive for my liking but it's a good resource for broadening your thinking all the same. Not really a parenting book though, but it does still explore ideas that are useful to know for parent-child interactions and a view of how they change as a child matures. Honestly, the theory at the start was the most interesting part of the book for me rather than the actual 'games'.

Not to be rude or anything, but I've been a dog walker and trainer casually for a while and honestly, positive reinforcement dog training advice is surprisingly useful. Zak George in particular is great for teaching puppies and younger dogs, and a lot of the reasoning behind why the training works is applicable to babies and toddlers, especially due to the similarities because of a communication barrier. So if you want a tongue in cheek 'parenting' book I'm sure there's something available down that avenue as well.
