This book by Ted Sorensen came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: David Rubenstein. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Recollections of the late President by his Special Counsel. Covering the 1953-63 period, this is a "portrait of Kennedy's emergence into political maturity and of his increased knowledge of the country, of world affairs, of his own abilities and of administrative tactics as he fought the tough political battles of 1956-1960. Most of all, the book shows the man at work in the Presidency.
