To me, tutors and teachers are rather essential for this.
At some point you will want to confer with an expert on the material in order to make sure you are grasping the content as intended. The text is masterfully written and I would say it is a solid text for self study, up to a certain point. This 8th edition did not disappoint! I have looked through and read several other Calculus texts over the years and, to me, few can compete with Stewart's exposition. I decided to return to an old favorite of a text and got the latest edition of this wonderful tome written by James Stewart. While I remembered quite a bit from Integral and Multivariable Calculus, it has been quite some time since I have flexed that muscle and worked problems. I have, for the past decade primarily been teaching some variation of Calculus 1 or Pre-Calculus, so I am rather decent with those subjects. Now, perhaps, a new chapter in my life unfolds where I feel the urge to potentially acquire a PhD, but it has been quite a long time since I have studied all aspects of Calculus. I greatly enjoyed the material, and while it was very difficult after a short amount of time I eventually got a my Masters in Applied Maths, then I was given a job teaching at the university I graduated from. I receieved an A in the course, from there I quit my job and enrolled at a university to study Applied Mathematics. I wanted some confirmation that, perhaps I was not too bad at the subject and to overcome some of the mathematical anxiety I experience all through high school. I felt I was getting quite good at Calculus after reading what I could of Stewart (most of my way through Calc II) that I decided to take a summer Calculus 1 course at a nearby college. For me, it really wasn't until I was able to remove myself from the school system and read several Algebra text books and then felt quite prepared to take on Calculus. I was always placed in the accelerated program for mathematics when I was in High School and Elementary School, but I definitely always had a lot of trouble engaging the material during school itself. I did not really know what I wanted to do, but I remembered having a passing interest in maths (this is in my late 20's). I was not formally trained in mathematics at the time, and I was opting for a rather drastic career change from working in the Financial Industry. However, when I was first teaching myself Calculus a little over ten years ago, this was the text I had picked up, albeit it was an old edition, the 2nd Edition to be specific.

With regards to full disclosure, I am a professor of Mathematics, so I have definitely read this from a very different perspective compared to a student learning for the first time. Not only have I read a maths text, I have actually done a huge portion of the problems in the book.
I have done something almost no one does.
