People, their motivation, abilities and time available differ greatly. Therefore there is no one 'right' way to learn. One is for sure - mastering something is not an easy task.
If you are beginner you have no way of knowing whether the material you are using is good or not. For example, based on posts on this forum it seems to me that Python 2 is still in widespread use in teaching Python despite the fact that it support will end at 31.12.2019. If someone using Python 2 for teaching beginners in my eyes it qualifies as 'very-very-very bad material'.
If you want to 'follow the book' then you could choose Python documentation. If you notice there is material which is marked with "keep this under your pillow"
You also should make subtle distinction between learning programming and learning Python.
