Reminds me a bit of back in the day when you used to walk the bookstore and pick up the nth book on "how to be good at marketing" or "how to manage people" which you would take home and hopefully read. At a certain point you realized that you had to spend time actually doing and not taking the easy route of reading on how to do something. Getting tips and suggestions only goes so far. This also applied to programming books in the 90's. Buy another O'reilly book when you hadn't even gotten to the 3rd chapter in the previous O'Reilly book. And spend time browsing for the next book about something when you hadn't even begun to understand or master the previous thing. Going even further back this wasn't that much of a problem though. There were very few bookstores that carried computer books (I had to drive to the Princeton U bookstore) and when you got there there might have been 1 or 2 books on a subject so you couldn't get distracted with unlimited content and information.
