@ValidLogic That’s one of the best for sure.
“The Art of Learning” by Josh Waitzkin is required reading.
All of @tferriss ‘s books are quite good. “4-Hour Chef” most hits this area.
For mindset “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey and “Mind Gym”by Gary Mack are both excellent. – sourceThe author was this world-class chess player, world-class martial artist, and the book is about his learning process. – source
