How do you learn in 2025?
Not long ago, books/video tapes were the only way to learn. Then video entered the picture: courses, tutorials, and lectures made knowledge more accessible than ever.
Now? The internet is overflowing with millions of courses, books, and resources on every imaginable topic.
So the real question is:
How do you learn in 2025?
Here’s my personal mix:
1/ Twitter /X+ hands-on testing: I find interesting ideas, frameworks, and tools on X, then try them immediately.
2/ YouTube + online courses: Great for visual explanations and step-by-step breakdowns.
3/ Books for fundamentals: When I want deep, timeless knowledge, I still go back to books. They give me the context and grounding short-form content can’t.
Your turn. What’s your go-to learning stack this year?👇

I think it really depends on the type of content you want to learn...
I'm not Gen Z, for example, but I really enjoy following some influencers on TikTok to learn more about fashion, politics, and general knowledge, for example.
If I want to learn something in my professional field, I end up following the same idea, especially lectures that are available online. I also spend most of my time reading newsletters and watching videos of lectures by people who inspire me.
@ari_gomes Can you mention some of the newsletters here?
I think there are a lot of ways to consume data now. Youtube, AI, Newsletters, Podcasts, etc.
But learning is also about organizing resources, creating notes, coming back to the same resources.
I have built a Notion workflow to send a resource to my Notebook with the link and summary and any other additional resources.
I have started using Comet for this as Perplexity does a good job in searching for more resources. Comet does a good job in actually taking over Notion and adding the right information. I have found it better than using Notion MCP.
