My favorite way to learn a new topic (which consistently works well for me) is to read several books about the same topic back to back.

I find that if I read three books by different authors on let's say React for example, which are all meant to cover the basics, I learn much more than by reading one book three times. The difference in the authors voices and inevitable variability of emphasis and style throughout, really helps me stay engaged and pick up the things I might have missed in the last book.

I'll usually do this first, then move on to tutorials and deep dive type books which are mostly a breeze by the time I get to them because of the very solid fundamental foundation provided by the initial book set.
