The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena

Really enjoyed that book! It intersperses real world use cases which helps when your motivation starts to wane and has a warmer tone than most algorithm books. That being said, it is still pretty rigorous and will take a lot of work to get through it all.

Whichever resource you choose, make sure it has exercises and do them! Even if you can't 100% figure some of them out just trying to will help your thinking immensely.

I'll second that recommendation and op makes an important point that is rarely expressed when threads on learning algorithms show up on HN: Don't be discouraged if you find the material hard at first, "Even if you can't 100% figure some of them out just trying to will help your thinking immensely."
