If you’ve enjoyed my series on learning, then you’re going to love today’s post because I’m going to point you to a wealth of other resources on learning. Going through these is going to help you be a better learner. When you learn more and can execute on what you’ve learned, you’re going to run a better business and be a more well-rounded person.

Books
You want to be more effective, right? Not just in work, but in everything you put your hand to. These books will help you get better at many things that are likely a part of your life.

Sites
No, these sites aren’t directly about learning. Yes, they will cover topics related to learning and sometimes the content will be specific to learning. But I recommend these sites because they are going to make you think harder about many fields. The writing is superb and they delve into many topics and books you otherwise might never discover.
In fact, there is almost nothing else in my feed reader anymore. The only other sites I follow are written by friends.
