Most people don't learn proofs. If you're going to learn about proofs beyond mere knowledge that they exist, then you have to be forced to do proofs from scratch.

Doing a proof from scratch is akin to being given a compass and told that somewhere past the wilderness is the promised land where others have blazed trails to but otherwise given no other help.

You know you can create the proof (since its a book problem) but how to is entirely up to you.
