This writing below is from my book.
On third line, there are words like "on how others"

I want to know why they use "on".
Could you please explain it to me?

First, the person need to accept that he has a problem. Then, he
should get some information from books, other people, or the Internet
on how others have fought the same or similiar types of problems.
Next, he should make a plan on how to combat it. The last step is
actively working to end an addiction.
