It was so long ago and I forgot the book’s name. But the gist of it is the reason why most advice fails is they assume we can devote all of our time to advice X. Most of us have extremely busy lives. Our energy. Our time. Our focus is our most precious asset. We need to carefully manage it. At the same time we have to prevent falling into an echo chamber and always honestly be willing to listen to differing opinions even if we disagree with them.
