My advice is somewhat radical: "learn Smalltalk". Since it is a very pure OO language, you will barely be able to do anything until it "snaps" to you. But when it does, it will becomme cristally clear, and you will learn to use OO very well in languages that let you get away with non OO. The disadvantages of this approach is that you will have to invest considerable effort, and that you might like Smalltalk too much in the and ;) .
