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

Reminds me of this video, where she launched her acting career at 75. It's a good reminder that your "prime" isn't just something that happens when you're young. https://youtu.be/W7Oul26dp7w?si=7gZ_pTS60rQg3z1d

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

Totally. Our obsession with the boy genius archetype has distilled innovation to a very small, limited cohort or innovators.
