Would combing a psychology degree with project management be a good idea?
Some understanding of psychology is helpful in developing leadership skills but you probably don’t need a full-blown degree in psychology to do that. Don’t go overboard in collecting degrees - focus on how you will use that information.

I want to study and deeper understand project management. What books do you recommend professional and useful to study?
Since it sounds like you're studying for your examination, I'll assume you've already got the PMBoK covered. With that, this book gets my top recommendation: Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling (11th Edition) by Harold Kerzner. This one's considered an all-in-one reference to project management, and it covers all sorts of advanced topics like measuring ROI, business justification, project sponsorship, and lots more in its 1,200+ pages. It also has a collection of case studies so you can see how the principles play out in actual projects. I collected over 20 other titles that are widely recommended in the project management community in this article I wrote, if you want to pick up a few other must-reads: 23 Project Management Books for All Experience Levels
