I have been working my way through Photoshop CC 2015 using Adobe's "Classroom In A Book", and it has been fun. However, most of what I need to do with my photographs I can do, very successfully, in Lightroom. Photoshop is great for the tricky little things Lightroom doesn't do, but so much of its functionality I do not need to use.
I do like the improved flexibility of being able to slip effortlessly between the two programmes, something I didn't get with my old version of PS and the standalone Lightroom (Lightroom automatically converted to Lightroom CC when I signed up for Photoshop).
I am currently working through a book I bought several years back. It is Katrin Eismann's "Photoshop Restoration & Retouching". Although written for Photoshop 7.0, it is still a great instructional book for today, with tons of workable tutorial material and downloadable images to follow along with.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
