Inspired by Dynomight’s viral post “Why doesn’t advice work?” I have been thinking about why does advice work so poorly. Or why is there such a stark disconnect between the application of said advice and the desired outcome? Why does advice work for a few and not most? I am going to ignore the edge case where the advice is ignored, in which the outcome is certain failure. So assuming the recipient makes a concerted effort at applying advice, why doesn’t it work?| Grey Enlightenment
