There's dozens, though I've never collected them. I quite like Littlewood's Miscellanea. And two of the best bios are Skidelsky on Keynes (get the abridged, "short" version), and Gleick on Feynman.
Interesting, didn't know the Skidelsky bio. I like the Gleick one a lot too. I thought @Meaningness was looking for something related but slightly different, though, books that are explicitly *about* how to learn a subject?

(But of course reading the great practitioners in a field, or about them, might be a better way to impart the same thing.)
