The Pragmatic Programmers have a book on learning called "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning". I own it and would highly recommend it, one of the more underrated books. It covers the Dreyfus learning model which was mentioned in the article.

The examples and language tend to be programming related (for example one chapter is titled "Debugging your Brain" iirc) because that's the intended audience but I'd also recomend it for non-programmers.

Very good blend of theory (Dreyfus model, r-/l-mode) and practical advice on how to improve your learning and generally use your brain better.

I actually do own a copy, thank you for reminding me to read it again. Very useful strategies and the type of 'metaphors' used in the book (CS/IT-related) made it easy to understand.
