Ask HN: What are the all-time best learning resources across any field?

What learning resources have you encountered that are so exceptional they deserve to be considered classics? Books, courses, websites, videos, tools - anything that delivers extraordinary clarity, insight, or effectiveness, regardless of subject matter. No domain restrictions - programming, arts, sciences, trades, humanities, or obscure niche topics. What resource fundamentally transformed your understanding or skills?
