This list of books provides the most direct and rigorous route to understanding differential geometry. See the image on the right for a visual treatment of its dependencies.
Each selection thoroughly addresses its topics.
There are other books for more specific topics. These are the core.
The greatest hurdles are motivation and coming to understand the language of mathematics.
See also this list of videos.
