Uh..max, that is one of the three options he describes (along with lean inside of the turn and lean exactly centered with the bike) each listed with pro's and cons. 

But to be clear, lee is NOT describing counter balancing (leaning your upper body away from the direction of the bike lean) as was advocated at the start of this thread nor is he echoing the very bad advice given earlier in this thread to 'try to lean the bike without moving or leaning your upper body'. 

In fact, as the pictures demonstrate you are leaning both your bike and your body in the SAME direction, but you are just adding a little (very little) more lean with the bike in order to weight the outside pedal.  Your mass and the bike are tilted, very actively, in the same direction-and you'll adjust those relative leans as intention and terrain demand.

But leaning into the turn is an essential cornering skill for Lee:


Lean into the Turn: " The faster and tighter the turn the more you have to lean" pg 83

LEAN TO THE RIGHT DEGREE
"To rail turns you have to fling your body inside of your tires Teasing gravity and momentum into a stalemate. The tighter and faster the turn, the more you must lean.  If you are falling to the inside, you are leaning to much.  If you blow through the turn, you aren't leaning enough." Pg88  That pretty much sums up my thoughts on cornering (that google book is a good find, max).

Oh, for those interested, be sure to read his bits on squatting low, staying centered, pumping (big skill few have) and choosing the right apex as these are all equally important in high-quality bike cornering.
