This is a subtle difference but one to keep in mind if you’re looking for some perfect book, course, teacher, coach, silver bullet, etc.
This is focused on the wrong idea—that merely possessing a tool will solve your problems. Although the right book or a good teacher will inspire you or accelerate your learning curve, it’s not going to be much help if you’re not willing and ready to learn from them.
We agonize over finding the “best” teaching tool when we should be asking ourselves how to be the best student and absorb as much as you can from what you have.
Put another way, they will not magically deposit knowledge and wisdom into you. They won’t do the work for you. YOU have to make it work.
Just because you get a personal trainer doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get physically fit. Just because you get a therapist doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to become mentally fit (an extremely popular idea pushed by those who invested a lot into one or more).
It’s not about who’s teaching but how willing you are to learn and implement.
