Most advice is absolute garbage. Not just wrong, dangerously wrong if you actually follow it.

0:06.2

And it's everywhere. Unsolicited advice, blog posts, social media threads, things that sound like this.

0:11.7

You should do this. If I were you, I would do this. Trust me. It worked for me. Yeah, that's the problem.

0:17.2

Most people aren't giving you advice based on what's best for you. They're giving you advice based on what they would do in your shoes. But here's the issue. They're not in your shoes. They're in their shoes with their experience and their fears and their baggage. And that's not helpful.

Let's start with some raw truths.

1:28.9

First, most people don't know what they're talking about.

1:29.7

They just don't.

1:33.6

They think they do, but really what they have is opinions.

1:35.2

They have anecdotes.

1:36.3

They have stories.

1:39.1

They don't have wisdom that is earned.

1:43.2

They have things that they imagine in their head, and that's really what it is. The real key here is that people

1:45.3
