Daria · Answer

Personally, I like Behance a lot. Even though it is not an educational platform, it gives a lot of inspiration and helps to understand the latest trends in design.

Dawn Veltri · Answer

Pretty much anything from @chrisashby 
The Designing Growth newsletter is good. They also have an ebook on design for founders.

Sreenath Pradeep · Answer

The answer to this question largely depends on what skill level the person is.

For Beginners:
1. Design of everyday things.
2. Don't make me think.
3. Hooked.
These are the classics that I every designer should read in order to get into the right mindset!

And the best method to learn is this:
1. Learn the basics.
2. start designing products. 
3. Learn to fill your knowledge gaps.

I have written a detailed thread on learning UI/UX design. You can check it out here. 👇
