My pragmatic advice is learn enough of a language from a different programming paradigm so you can apply that new way of thinking to your native language. I think "enough" is a crucial point here. The author almost seemed to be arguing against switching to a new language every year, which I agree is ridiculous. The idea is to learn some new concepts, not to write significant programs in a new language every year. I only adopt new languages for regular work if they're the pragmatic choice.
