Most people think that actually playing chess is important. I notice you have been a member for 6 months but it doesn't look like you have played any games or done any of the training provided here. Try it.
If you are still focused on getting a book, you are fortunate. Someone asks these same exact questions nearly every single day.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to find the best way to practice and improve. Please give me your opinions on what is the best book on how to improve and why.
Also, if anyone has their own opinion on what the best way to improve is or any insight on how the best players train on a daily basis, please share it.
Thanks!
