"Trust in numbers" was an eye opening book I had to read for a university course.

The idea that "It's difficult to get numbers to tell you the truth" despite how people tend to think hard data is not falsifiable - was my main take.
For a really good riff on this same idea, I like "How to Lie With Statistics" by Darrell Huff, and it's all illustrated!
Great, easy to understand breakdown of how statistics can be manipulated.
I honestly think that book should be required high school reading.
