That was the one I was going to mention as well.
I think it makes a big difference what you're trying to learn about. I'm not sure everyone would get the same benefit from every educational book.
Its relatively easy to find books about topics you are trying to learn as you know what you are looking for. Reason I'm asking here is to find new ideas. It doesnt matter what people suggest as long as its something they themselves find useful.

There are tons more I love but I hope you find at least one thing to try here.
I'm weird and I study U.S. intellectual property law for fun and this free textbook is awesome. I've got the previous edition printed on dead trees and even the print edition was only $40, which is ridiculously cheap for a college textbook.
Also very cliché, and likely not a true story, but Rich Dad, poor Dad really changed my perspective.
