Josh Waitzkin's book "The Art of Learning" I have never read, but the "learning how to learn" concept is a centuries old concept. I don't know if it was always phrased this way ("learning how to learn" wording is something I came up with in the moment just to be a little humorous, yet still an accurate representation of what I was attempting to convey), but learning the process of how to figure things out on your own is a useful skill for sure.
I haven't read the book either, I just referenced it, I never thought about "learning how to learn", I just attempted to learn, for example right now, I'm studying the "Opposition" and teaching myself that, which I did before, but you know, you kind of forget and lol, I think this time around I understand it better then I did the first time around when I just "winged" it.
I wouldn't say that learning comes naturally to me, maybe the desire to learn and understand (key concept) Chess came naturally to me. I think learning is something that you do, if you want to be good at something, you must study it and then "learn" it, but then what defines the word "learn"?, to know something?, to have a skill? to understand something?, probably all of those things plus more, that in and of itself should show you what must be done to "learn" something.
