After decades of structure, responsibility, and identity, stepping away can feel unexpectedly disorienting. You have ample energy, curiosity, perspective, and a desire to contribute.


But fewer places to explore what that means...without pressure, labels, or expectations.

If you are experiencing decline in fluid intelligence – and if you are my age, you are – it doesn’t mean you are washed up. It means it is time to jump off the fluid intelligence curve and onto the  crystallized intelligence curve. Those who fight against time are trying to bend the old curve instead of getting onto the new one. But it is almost impossible to bend, which is why people are so frustrated, and usually unsuccessful.”
