It's not exactly the same, but the closest thing to a "C++: The Good Parts" is Scott Meyers' "Effective C++", imho.

Unfortunately, there are no updated versions of his books for C++14 or 17.

I owe a lot to the books though.

Effective Modern C++ covers C++14, and specifically points out where it differs from C++11 (I'm thinking about the discussion of decltype, here).

Trust me even though it's not updated everything he mentions in the book is still valid. If you want to really know more about specifically modern C++ there is always Modern Effective C++
