This book about late bloomers looks fantastic. A welcome antidote to our youth obsession and a reminder it's never too late "my contention is, basically, I don't think we pay any attention to these late bloomers who deviate from the average. We really don’t know how many there are or could be. Why don't we try to find more of these people? Because if we got, say, two more of Katalin Kariko – the woman who did so much mRNA research that was so crucial during Covid – what would the world be like? Great. Fantastic." https://www.sa.life/p/second-act-usa-today https://www.amazon.com/Second-Act-Bloomers-Success-Reinventing-ebook/dp/B0CK4LSJD1

haven't read this book, but it really reminds me of the concepts we discussed in the book ‘Range’ It mentioned individuals who achieve late success or even in the final years of their life, like the painter Van Gogh, who, if I remember correctly, only saw his paintings gain value in the last two years of his life and after his death, the value of his work continued to increase

IMO society pushes you to believe that success comes either early in your career and education, or never at all The reason behind this is the overemphasis on young successful people, which can be harmful to talented individuals, Those with less mental resilience might feel stress and a sense of failure when they see peers their age achieving success, potentially stifling their ability to reveal their own talents! What’s your opinion!?

Great! I'll def add it to my list quick question though: is it more of the author's personal take or is it backed by scientific evidence?
