The whole article is a giant ad for the guy's management consulting gig. It contains a mishmash of far eastern mysticism, self-help nonsense, political signaling, all of which have nothing to do with developing software, even though the article suggests otherwise.

Mental health is important, and each of us lets off steam in their own ways, but to claim that the aforementioned things give you product development superpowers is the exact same mental jump as claiming a particularly fancy (and maybe religiously/spiritually meaningful) piece of jewellery has healing powers. It is quackery, the enemy of every skilled professional.
