    What a load of old bollocks. I’ve changed my whole lifestyle at the age of 60 and loving it. I wouldn’t give old rope for TED talk’s nowadays

      Might you be an outlier?

      Your brain is fine but she’s still scientifically correct. Your brain keeps changing and you have to adapt your lifestyle to it.

    Half of Americans are with their partners by age 30. Cool. Now tell us about the divorce rate.

    I appreciate that, in this sound but, she ends by saying all we have is now and to change now. Because making 80% of life altering decisions by 35? That means the majority of people aren’t willing to grow, adapt, or change. I started the major changes in my life at 36. I’d never look back.

    And when I get to end of my life, I’ll look back knowing not a minute was wasted. That would be the point of having a Grandson, which for me, is not in the cards. I learned though. I learned how it was done.
