So, I know that there are a lot of questions about good books on quantum mechanics and I have read each one of them, and I go on and bought Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. But the fact is that it did not build me a very good intuition as it emphasized the computational part of it.

So, I want a book that emphasizes on both intuition and mathematical rigor in the same way.
I am thinking about the books of Dirac, Shankar, Zettili, Landau and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (with Frank Laboe).

So what are your opinions about them and which one strikes the balance on intuition and mathematical rigor?

If you know other books that emphasize on both, tell me.

The only book that I know can help build you intuition is "Lectures on Quantum Mechanics" by Weinberg.

Weinberg's book is used to give a course in Advanced QM. It should not be your first read on the subject. The book is quite enlightening because it sheds lights on details that most QM books jump over without explaining the intuition or at least the physics behind them.
