Reading books gives knowledge. But mere knowledge does not guarantee behaviors. All behaviors do not yield experience. All experiences do not give wisdom.
But it all starts with being theoretical (reading books). Read books and "do" something with the learning. Be your own case study - conduct experiments and create positive feedback.
After definite amount of work, there comes a masterpiece - hidden gem inside you that gets polished with every effort you make.
My "rational" tells to my "emotional" self when i am not yet there.
