It most definitely is! Principles of life and other things learned in a book only give you an imagined perception of what it is your reading about. Real world experiences maybe completely different than what your imagined perception was.

It also it depends on what you're learning.
When you're doing a job, when you are expected to give some sort of performance, when others are relying on you, you'd better have at least some experience or else you might disappoint by getting it wrong. If you're giving me brain surgery, I hope you have some experience.
On the other hand, when learning "life lessons," you can learn some by experience and some by being told. When we were kids, my grandma would tell us, "You can learn lessons by listening to the advice of people that have already learned them. But if you don't listen, you'll have to feel." She was totally right.
Making bad choices doesn't always mean that we improve our lives afterward. The people who have made the most bad choices don't always have the best lives. There are going to be consequences for that choice.

Although, a combination of both personal experience and formal education provide a deeper understanding of life then just having one or the other.
