My “Advice Resonance Theory” posits that 90% of the advice you get is probably wrong for you. Only 10% of what other people say worked for them will really resonate and work for you.
People generally give advice that worked for them — and they usually do it willingly and generously.
But advice givers are misguided if they don’t know you and know how to personalize advice to you.
I’m eager to see how people answer this question.
Follow up questions will explore more categories of people from whom trusted advice is most often received.
