I also recommend "Finite and Infinite Games". I haven't heard of 'Good 
Math', thanks for the pointer

Semi-related, James P. Carse's book "Finite and Infinite Games" is a good,
if occasionally overtly-spiritual (and easily enough ignored if that kind
of thing isn't for you), look at life through the lens of games.

Weirdly, I find all of this to be tied together with Mark Chu-Carroll's
"Good Math", which is "just" a meandering path through interesting
mathematical concepts, but has opened surprising doors for me when viewed
through the lens of game theoretical analysis.

YMMV wildly, of course :)
