In this episode, host Kathy Oneto talks about how age should not be viewed as a limiter. If we want to be ambitious in our second stage, “Go for it!” Despite what Arthur Brooks writes in his recent book, “From Strength to Strength,” decline is not inevitable. Sure, our intelligence may shift, as he claims, but there are more types of intelligence than he references, and there’s plenty of evidence that bucks the claim that older workers don’t perform as well as younger workers.Frankly, this is what gets us fired up. These are the types of claims that don’t serve us and create a dangerous narrative that suggests that companies shouldn’t hire older workers when the evidence suggests otherwise.A different book, “The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success,” by Albert-László Barabási suggests the opposite of what Brooks claims. The fifth law says, “With persistence, success can come at any time.”Sustainable Ambition is possible. Find your ambition, then get to work. Be consistent and be persistent.Resources MentionedFrom Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life: https://arthurbrooks.com/book/from-strength-to-strength/The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success: https://barabasi.com/book/the-formulaI’d love to hear from you!
