Best books or sources to get better at understanding economics?

After a bit over a year on the job, I've identified that I have a very weak grasp of economics. I'm not really interested in reading academic texts and would rather read something that'd help me just understand the relevant bits for someone doing research. I understand the basic concepts but it's difficult for me to see how everything just interconnects to form one big picture. I've watched Ray Dalio's video on How the Economic Machine Works and that's probably the kind of information I'm looking for. Don't want to be an economist but want to be able to have intelligent conversations about the economy of any country and how this could impact the stocks under our coverage.
