Are you sure it's bad advice? Maybe it's good advice, but not written explicitly enough. And maybe other advice that is written more explicitly isn't as good, but is defaulted to out of (reasonable!) fear of feeling incompetent.
It might have been clearer if I'd distinguished between advice that is bad because it suggests unwise courses of action, and advice that is bad because attempting to follow it is not a feasible way to modify your actions for the better. I think it's bad advice of the sort that doesn't provide enough information to be positive or negative.
