Advice
Advice to others is easy. Don’t worry about having to engage in your life, all you need to do is listen to me as I tell you what to eat, who to talk to, what to invest in, how to live, what to improve, how to succeed.
Advice takes no commitment or authenticity on our part, just the issuance of judgment about what others should be doing. It makes us smarter, knowing better what they should be doing with their life. It’s actually a pleasant distraction from self-assessment or self-doubt.
The downside is that advice ends the conversation, preventing us from being smarter together.
