Also, do the review on all of your games and when you see a mistake or inaccuracy - look at it from the principle you find in books (especially the Silman books like Reassess Your Chess). You will quickly see improvement

Any particular phase of the game, or just overall?

For the endgame, I quite liked "Silman's Endgame course."

For the middlegame, I found Michael Stean's "Simple Chess" very helpful.

Openings tend to be specific, but I enjoyed Helsten's "Mastering Opening Strategy."

These ten were among those that helped the most during a nearly 600 point rating rise (OTB).

That’s better than setting them under your pillow while you sleep.

Judit Polgar's Tactics Training is good for helping you recognize relationships and patterns in positions that you need to make decisions.
