@arthurcbrooks: Why do some of the most successful people become less happy as they get older? Psychologists sometimes call it the burden of high achievement. When you spend years being rewarded for success, status, recognition, and professional accomplishment, it is easy to build your identity around those things. In this week's episode of Office Hours, I talk about how our strengths change with age and how to be happier as they do. Drawing on my book From Strength to Strength, I explain fluid and crystallized intelligence and contrast how Darwin and Bach responded to professional decline.
