I'll go even further and say I'm convinced that a less-structured approach will clearly not provide benefits for everybody.
I had my boy in a Montessori environment, which is more unstructured and focused on the type of self-learning the author is describing. It worked really well for me growing up, so I wanted to provide that environment for my son. Well, it was a disaster. After a neuropsych evaluation for him, he's now in an exact opposite, highly structured learning environment. He's not only much happier, but back to progressing appropriately in his education.

Not everyone needs to be a creative Nobel prize winner or otherwise prominent, as much as parents would like that. The real trick is in finding potential ones and not breaking people in the process. Feeling like a reject for failing with assorted psychological issues or having trouble retraining. I'm taking here of the Chinese filter system.
