Nature is the greatest teacher.  The best resouce is direct experience compounded over years.

Lots of well meaning advice is not universally applicable. We can both appreciate the wisdom of others and perceive for ourselves. Most suggestions need to be adapted to each individual's climate, conditions, and context. 

Solutions can be crafted to align with our goals, and the kind of life we want to live.

Nothing is static.  We are all in development.
