Good Book, But Hard As A Rabid Gorilla
Tensors are a booger to learn, even with a great guide like this. It's just hard. But this is the best guide available. More completely worked out problems would be nice. A very very solid grounding in vector analysis and linear algebra is required before tackling this book, however.

Good first inmersion in tensor calculus
If you want to get rid of much of your reluctance in tensor calculus and fight powerfully with Einstein index summation and relief your pains with Christoffel symbols and Riemann Curvature Tensor, essential for General Relativity understanding then, I think this book, with solved problems and many others for practicing, is a good guide to make General Relativity and Cosmology more pleasant. I am a self-learner of Cosmology and of these kind of mathematical topics, I used many books from the more theoretical to the simplest ones and think that this and the Sokolnikoff's (Tensor Analysis and Its Applications) are a good couple of references to understand this branch of tools for Physics and making me more happy dominating the practice with these objects. Later on, if you are more interested in going deeply in the axiomatic bases of tensors (possibly by using Gravitation of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler), at least you'll already have the calculus foundations to go on. I know many others would say that there are many other wonderful books, but to me this is the one I found the best to condensate the most of all my doubts in the subject and.... go on.

fantastic choice
The best book I've ever seen on tensors, with clear notation, super-useful exercises. "Must-have"! For tensors' lovers
