Completely agree based on my experience. The author's experiences are shared by me and what finally forced me to change my process was reading Alexander Grothendieck. I was not expecting such a prolific writer to espouse such relaxed principles to learn. More than anything, I noticed he emphasized taking time to just _sit and think_. Put things into your own words and pictures as you do. Don't act like a hammer trying to crack the nut, but instead simply "sit and listen to the voices of things". I also just enjoy life more with this method, no more rush. Much more listening.
