We’ve all heard the old “watch and learn” mantra, but new research suggests it’s time to retire it. An April 2025 study from the University of Guelph found no link between parents’ cooking skills and their children’s cooking ability. Even if Mom is a master chef, Junior won’t become the next Gordon Ramsay just by watching her sauté. The takeaway: hands-on experience matters far more than observation. Little chefs learn by cooking, not by standing on the sidelines licking the spoon.

It’s not just kids in kitchens—adults fall for the same fallacy. Merely watching others perform a skill can inflate our confidence without improving our competence. In one experiment, people who binged a how-to video felt confident they’d mastered the trick, yet did no better than those who watched it once. It’s the gap between knowing and doing: you can stream 100 hours of guitar tutorials and still fumble your first chord in real life.

The “rich dad” in Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad understood this gap. Instead of giving lectures about money, he had nine-year-old Kiyosaki run a little comic-book library in their basement. After some trial and error (making and losing a few bucks), the lessons stuck. No amount of watching someone balance books can substitute for doing it yourself.

Maybe it’s time to rethink the “watch and learn” myth. In an age of infinite MasterClass videos and AI-generated advice, just watching feels safe and satisfying—but doing is what turns information into wisdom. Next time you catch yourself endlessly watching someone do what you want to learn, take it as a friendly nudge to hit pause and try it yourself. You might mess up a bit (in fact, you definitely will). But that’s the point: real learning is a contact sport, and you can’t win from the bleachers. Trust the doing more than the knowing, and watch how much you learn.
