Kent writes a lot about metacognitive skills that are notoriously difficult to put to language because they sound so mundane but are highly enlightening when internalized.
Meditation and insight are useful analogues here, they sound utterly mundane or obvious when written about, even in highly technical or mystical contexts like mahamudra because they operate on behavior and schemas below language.
I think Kent’s writing is useful as a pointing method: read what he says and watch how you undermine yourself during work. It’s easier said than done too because cognitively demanding tasks undermine metacognition.
