It's very interesting to read and I am keeping an open mind about the whole left vs right brain idea. The idea of being able to zone out and cut off my logical processes, even temporarily, would be a huge help for me. I tend to over analyze and critique my own work mid-process which makes completing exercises more time consuming than they should be.
The closest I think I've gotten to this approach on my own is when I've veeb listening to music and droning my way through gesture practice sessions. During those exercises I stop thinking about the specifics of the image I'm observing or the outcome of the finished drawing and I just go through the motions. I can relate to some of the testimonies in the book, because I have been surprised by my own work when I drop out of critical observation mode and just draw.
I knocked out some anatomy sketches and a few Pokemon doodles for my daughter, but nothing really interesting this week. I will be starting the more interesting drills tomorrow. I'm also working on a side project, trying to work up some character designs for a short strip. I'm hoping to have something worth sharing for that in the next week or two.

* I'm considering Friday to be the end of the week for tracking metrics so that it lines up with my summary posts.
** I had to use a some fuzzy math to figure the page count for some of my Kindle books since they only have location tagging.
