The C++ Programming Language from Stroustrup is the c++ bible but Im not sure all of what you find there is actually useful for day to day coding. To become a better C++ programmer you just use the language, but not on a project where you fix bugs, but on a project you write from start to finish. If this is not possible at work, you could try looking into contributing to open source c++ projects on github... When using C++ in practice to build projects you realize what features are actually useful, what to avoid and what the limitations of the language are. C++ does have a lot of after thought add-ons...
