Convince me books are more useful in understanding how to live well than simply examining my daily existence on a moment to moment basis.

Okay, but how are you going to examine it? What do you mean by “living well”?

Books can only provide fake knowledge.

Examining your daily existence is simply using your own perspective to analyze previous actions and will not provide any different perspective. If you truly want to live well within a society you need to understand others, either through real conversations with people or reading their words in text form.

>Convince me
Because you want to believe it's true, so it doesn't matter what I say. I could literally just say "true me bro".
You're not looking for an actual answer, you're just trying to validate whatever your beliefs and attitudes are.
