I stumbled upon this one in 2019. My two cents.

I'm a statistics professor with an inclination to do data analysis of various kinds (that's why I chose statistics!). To pick up some practical knowledge, I recommend James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani "An Introduction to Statistical Learning". They even have a MOOC based on that. The book uses a lot of "real data" examples and is also R-based.
