Adding up all the time one could spend looking for tips on 'what to avoid when...' and 'how to use ...' , you'll see that is often quicker to just get in there and start implementing rather than looking for the howto's and howtonot's. This is also more valuable for yourself because the things you learn the hard way will stick forever!
Having said this, bashing your head against the wall for too long can cause permanent braindamage and is thus not desirable for any Monk... PM very often provides one with the right helmet to prevent this from happening.

good luck
