"Some people think, that the book - is the best source for knowledge of all aspects of life" 
I disagree with people, who think so. Books - is just one of many tools for the knowledge of being, which has no absolute advantages over other means, such as your own work, communication with intelligent people, lucid dreaming, traveling and so on. I'll just try to guess it what things some people find books dignity; then I'll tell you, what to my mind is the "best source for cognition of all aspects of life"
Books are customary to us, since recent time books have become a traditional way of leisure activities for the masses of people. Almost all the people pay their taxes, and hence they can use public libraries, so bookish education is affordable.
Furthermore, there are variety of written thoughts directions: we can find reflections about eternity in it, and at the same time there are encountered detective stories and cheap novels.That is to say, on the grounds of moral and intellectual development, one can find any answer to his question. 
But the problem consists, that not everyone have the adequate development of creative thinking. That is, not everyone can grasp the whole text of the book in its notional scope; moreover, frequently it's assimilated not what was written in the book, but what was presented by the reader, who, perhaps, can by not quite sober-minded.Thereby it was generated entire sections of ugly information,that  infest the information field and which can't entail nothing good.
In my view, the best method of cognizing life - communication with intelligent, skilled, wise people, let us call them "Elders". Elders can explain everything distinctly, and, noticing that if the information wasn't internalized right, they will rush to explain it again.Their knowledge are always based on practice and never are the result of sick imagination.
Well as a good method of knowledge as cognition yourself in persistent labor. Life starts with one person, thus, it’s reasonable to begin life’s knowledge with the cognition of one person. Labor is a check on durability and viciousness, finding strengths and weaknesses. In sum, with communication with the elders, these two methods are more than replace reading any books.
Of course, books are good, but only as an addition to real activity. Life itself  can be learned only in the process of yourself exploration.

Васютка – главный герой рассказа Виктора Астафьева «Васюткино озеро», мальчик лет тринадцати, сын бригадира рыбаков Григория Шадрина. Это храбрый и смекалистый мальчик, который родился и вырос в таёжном краю. Он рано стал самостоятельным и старался во всём следовать «таёжным законам», что пригодилось ему в жизни. В свои тринадцать лет он уже многое знал и умел. Отец часто брал его на промысел, где он знакомился с образом жизни рыбаков. Когда работы было мало, рыбаки любили собираться и рассказывать друг другу всякие небылицы, щёлкая кедровые орешки. Васютке было скучновато, поэтому он бегал в лес за орешками или просто побродить. Для того, чтобы не заблудиться, он ориентировался по зарубинам и пометкам на деревьях.

Но однажды, погнавшись за глухарём, всё-таки заблудился. Пять дней его искали родные и уже потеряли всякую надежду, но Васютка сумел выжить в глухой тайге, благодаря пониманию природы. Он знал, что лучше идти на север, а не на юг, где километровая тайга без конца и без края. Обнаружив безымянный водоем, по обилию белой рыбы, он понял, что это проточное озеро, впадающее в какую-нибудь речушку, ведущую к Енисею. С вот таких знаний, он искал дорогу к реке, где было его Васютке пришлось пройти трудный путь в темноте и холоде, но к Енисею он все-таки смог выйти, а там его вскоре подобрала шлюпка.

Дома он рассказал про озеро, в котором было много рыбы. Рыбакам это озеро очень понравилось, и решили они его назвать Васюткиным.
