Statistics is certainly valuable. I don’t have any particular recommendations on books/sources for general stats.
I do think Pearl’s graphical causal models are a beautiful and useful statistical tool for thinking about interventions. (For a shorter introduction, there’s Thinking Clearly About Correlations and Causation: Graphical Causal Models for Observational Data and my own series.)
