Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. The word "bummel" (a German word for "stroll") is described wonderfully in the last paragraph of the book, it is quoted here[1].
A modern day example of the above "overhauler" way (a theme familiar to HN): we see many variants of "Look! I've setup the perfect static website!" Then the person goes on to write a single, lonely post on "how to setup a perfect static site", and then ... go silent for 5 years, or forever. They've burnt too much energy in "configuring".
