Do you use it to brace yourself?

Book says I need a place to rest my left foot. My thought - "WTH - are you driving an automatic?!!!"

Dead pedal Karen. LFB'g is an important technique and should be learned. You can LFB and downshift in the same turn if you get proficient enough. The last place your left foot should be is resting on the clutch pedal. (I see this all the time). Learn to use your left foot while street driving for pedal feel. Practice on the track during cool down laps staying a selected gear (3rd,4th). The drill should be similar to a "no brakes drill" looking for momentum and smooth car balance.

Do you have a street car with an automatic? If so switch to LFB and you'll quickly develop a feel for it. I learned to LFB in my F150 tow vehicle.

LFB is a bit more difficult with modern cars where heavy braking also cuts fuel but I'm learning that if your smooth, it still works.

LFB was easier than I thought. key for me is that I rest the left foot consistently on the dead pedal before I move it to the brake pedal and than straight back when done. now LFB is like using the clutch.
