The selection of endgames studies for studying not an easy task.
I prefer those positions which contain practical technique, strategies, and calculation which (however hidden) give my brain a workout leading to further understanding as opposed to studies whose solutions last far too many moves and whose computer-like nature defy any logic I can generate.
A wonderful starting book for those dipping their toes in the water is Endgame Magic, by John Beasley & Timothy Whitworth.
I agree. The Ending are very important element of the gane.
A lot of endgames are rook and pawn endgames. Just learning the Philidor position can flip many endgame losses to draws.
There are a few brief and very helpful "endgame" lessons under "lessons" on chess.com if you want to pick up some helpful tactics without having to read a whole book on a topic you don't like.

It’s painful but endgame study hugely increases your calculation ability and understanding of piece relationships.
I actually really like the endgame. It's like a completely different game from the middlegame and opening

Notice how those who like endgames are better at chess than those who don't.
Cause they bother to study and know how to calculate (at least a little bit)

Yeah. I am pretty good at endgames myself, I just need to improve on imbalances in endgames.
I learned the endgame pretty much entirely from Chessmaster 10th edition, and I can probably play endgames largely on intuition, though they often require calculation.
@Nickolay, try this one 
My girlfriend's parents, knowing I had taken an interest in chess, purchased Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual for me as a Christmas present. I don't have the heart tell them how lost I am by the 2nd chapter.
Hell of a first chess book.
Give me an endgame puzzle, I would probably solve it.
If you want one that includes an important lesson, try this one.
White to play and draw.

If you want one you probably won't solve on your own, try this one.
White to play and win.
Puzzle is a bit wrong, just check the analysis.
Which puzzle, and wrong in what way?
b3, g3+, Ke2,
Can you tell what black should play after?
If this is your attempt to win for White, let's play it out. I'll play Black and try to draw.
1. b3 g3+ 2. Ke2 g2. Your move. If Kf2, g1=Q+.
With a black queen at g1, Kg2 is illegal.
I hate end game study friends
