      The High Dimensional Probability textbook is one of my all time favorites. The elegant mix of probability, geometry, and linear algebra can generate some really non-intuitive insights. The intuitions developed are also pretty useful for reasoning about modeling in a lot of applications

      For reference, see the book High Dimensional Probability by Vershynin. It's free online. See Theorem 3.1.1. It proves that a sub-gaussian random vector is in some sense close in norm to sqrt(n) where n is the number of dimensions. Most of these results are true up to multiplying by some unknown constant.
