Depends. A real life person can help you determine what to prioritize learning (what resources to look at first, which parts of which resources to pay the most attention to) in a way that books generally don't. Also, in several subjects, the best resources are not necessarily books.

I think you misread my comment. I was also saying asking a person can be better than reading a book.

Oops. Yes, I read "less" as "more" somehow.
