Books can prepare you, but no book can teach you how to deal with all possible situations in your life. We have to experience it ourselves, apply these theories, and at times challenge these theories.
Theories are clean and simple, black and white, but this life is a mixed bag, and good and evil, happiness and sorrow are all a part of it. Life is all shades of grey.
