To me it depends what kind of learning I am after. Some subjects I want to learn more about for "entertainment & curiosity" reasons. This includes for example learning about historical events. This I prefer to do in a laid back fashion, I could read books of course but what I do instead is search for educational videos to find interesting lectures. I also search for podcast episodes on a topic. But is it more for professional growth I want to learn, I want to be hands on ("forward leaning"). Typically, write a program or a tool using a programming language I want to learn more. This takes more effort, and gives better results too.
