Steve Forbes: What's Ahead

S1E14: Why Society’s Obsession With Early Success Is Misguided: Rich Karlgaard


Listen Later

First up, Steve speaks to the PM race in Britain, ICE negotiations and Trump's standing in the polls.

Next, society’s preoccupation with early achievement ignores the reality that for most, identifying your passions and developing your talent takes time. Age is actually an asset, not a liability. Rich Karlgaard, Forbes publisher and author of Late Bloomers: The Power Of Patience In A World Of Early Achievement, makes the case that ignoring this reality has created harmful pressure that can stunt growth in kids and young adults today, rather than foster it.

Rich shares compelling research around the psychology of late blooming and why there’s no standard timetable for success. 

And, lastly, Steve's "Read of of the Week" is two articles. One written by Steve himself, an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, and the other is by William Langewiesche in The Atlantic titled, "What Really Happened to Malasia's Missing Airplane."
