"As your youth fades further into the past, you may start to fear growing
older.

But research my colleague and I have recently published in the journal
Intelligence shows there’s also very good reason to be excited: for many of
us, overall psychological functioning actually peaks between ages 55 and 60.

And knowing this highlights why people in this age range may be at their best
for complex problem-solving and leadership in the workforce."
