Erase SSH from your mind. Read "Winning Low Limit Hold Em" by Lee Jones. Play a lot. Read it again. Play more. When you find your bankroll steadily rising over time (at least a few thousand hands), then -- and only then -- read SSH.

I think this is really good advice. I know SSH is revered around here, and for good reason. But I would never hand that book to one of my friends just starting to learn the game. It's not for beginners. says so on Page 1.
WLLH has some flaws for sure, but it will turn a losing player into a winning player. Not an optimal-playing game crusher, but a winner. SSH should come later, IMO.
