As a separate path, I finally learned to internalize recursion by building a R7RS Scheme (and a good chunk of its standard library) and spending a year doing projects for fun in various Schemes and Standard ML.
I'm not saying every dev needs to do this but if you do want to get better at recursion, reading this book isn't the only path (good news for me because I really didn't like The Little Xer format).
