Some of the best meta-advice there is!
Most advice given out about deep topics like "how do I live well?" works for the person giving the advice and for a small percentage of other people, but not many others. The above advice, "Try a sample and see how it works for you," is one of the rare bits of advice that fits just about everyone.
