Rich Karlgaard – Late Bloomers

A groundbreaking exploration of how finding one’s way later in life can be an advantage to long-term achievement and happiness. “What Yogi Berra observed about a baseball game–it ain’t over till it’s over–is true about life, and [Late Bloomers] is the ultimate proof of this. . . . It’s a keeper.”–Forbes We live in a society where kids and parents are obsessed with early achievement, from getting perfect scores on SATs to getting into Ivy League colleges to landing an amazing job at Google or Facebook–or even better, creating a start-up with the potential to be the next Google or Facebook or Uber.

Based on years of research, personal experience, interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and countless people at different stages of their careers, Late Bloomers reveals how and when we achieve our full potential–and why today’s focus on early success is so misguided, and even harmful. Praise for Late Bloomers “The underlying message that we should ‘consider a kinder clock for human development’ is a compelling one.”–Financial Times “Late Bloomers spoke to me deeply as a parent of two millennials and as a coach to many new college grads (the children of my friends and associates). It’s a bracing tonic for the anxiety they are swimming through, with a facts-based approach to help us all calm down.”–Robin Wolaner, founder of Parenting magazine
