Just comment on this post—I will read it.

    I’m reading an interesting book by Peter Block, which opens with this quote from him: There is depth in the question “How do I do this?” that is worth exploring. The question is a defense against the action. It is a leap past the question of purpose, past the question of intentions, and ...

When you believe you have more knowledge and/or experience than another person, it can be tempting to give him advice. Sometimes he even asks for it. But advice is not as helpful as you might suppose. If you haven’t worked to understand the exact problem, your advice will likely be misguided or ir...
