Best books to learn Understanding Heidegger, in order
Heidegger invented much of his own vocabulary, so the path has to prepare you: a solid introduction to his questions and terms first, then a guided reading of Being and Time with a companion in hand, then the later work and its critics. Reading Being and Time without a glossary and guide defeats nearly everyone, so a good path moves from the overview, to the guided primary text, to the broader phenomenological tradition and debates.
