there is a very thin book by sh Abdul hakeem Murad. beautiful & helped me accept the differences between me and hanafis & I learnt to agree to disagree from there. I cant remember the name but Masha Allah is all I can say for a book you can read in 30min

See "The legal status of following a madhhab" by Mufti M Taqi Usmani Deobandi.
