  • So instead of promoting retirement at age 65, perhaps we as a society should be promoting transition at age 65: transition into a creative field where our growing resource of individuals with aging brains can preserve their wisdom in culturally-valued works of art, music, or writing.
  • Numerous studies suggest that highly creative individuals also employ a broadened rather than focused state of attention.

    Here's a guy who's dealing with fact he probably has some brain injury from when he's a kid, has major depression, and at best of times couldn't organize himself out of a paper bag - what psychologists call executive dysfunction. Painfully, experimentally, and in public, he's managing to put some of the pieces together. He may find healing for himself, plus a whole lot of good stuff which will help others.
