Depends on your experience but the generally the Shon Harris book is well liked. The Eric Conrad books (CISSP Study Guide and 11th Hour CISSP) are also good option. Udemy and Cybrary have a bunch of good courses if you want explainers. I used the Shon Harris book, Thor Pederson’s Udemy class, and then read the 11th hour book a day before the exam. Studied probably for about 3 months before taking the test.
