TLDR; is a book review series, specifically aimed at staff involved with factory automation.
Introduction to the Personal Software Process is a typical project management book. The atypical part is the consideration from the perspective of a student (specifically in software engineering) looking to cross the bridge into industry. I would only recommend this to someone who was early in their career, or still studying. Many of the topics will be fairly familar.
The chapters are similar to those of most PMP books.

It is fairly obvious to most people that tracking things will allow you to improve. The ability for you to run schedules and coordinate allows you to move up. Those who do good work are rewarded, those who do not are punished. It's capitalism and not terribly surprising.
I would only read it if you were unfamiliar with project management and very new to the field.
