I am with you. But your recent Amazon long blog post is up there.
Couldn’t disagree more. The useful advice I’ve gotten from books outweighs useful advice I’ve gotten from people by 100 or maybe even 1000:1.
If you start with Munger & @nntaleb, you’ll never put yourself in existential situations where you need to run around asking for advice.https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1152444900660531201 …

This is probably because the best books stand the test of time in a way that 1:1 advice sometimes does not.

I’m going to weigh in here. As somebody who’s worked with startups for over a decade and has written a book on it. I don’t think it’s an either / or. Books lay down the general principles and are polished. Advice is specific and unvarnished.

Specifically, the editing process (if you have a good editor) is designed to get to the core of the idea and ensure it connects with the reader. It’s slow, painful and deliberate. And when done well yields high quality advice.

Totally agreed. Lots of interpersonal advice is projecting but books are usually designed with empathy for the reader.

You need both. Especially if you're working on cutting edge stuff. Why must these be in opposition to each other?

Most important, for me, has been APPLYING (or testing) *something* from the advice.

Absolutely right. Practical situations are corrected by a passerby also. In our Tamil language there is a saying"eettu churaikaai karikku udavaadhu" means picture of vegetables cannot be cooked.
