Question: Do the greatest intellectuals and entrepreneurs reach self-actualization at an early age (16-24) or later?
At what age do the greats generally discover a new medicine, start the new Facebook or crack a mathematical code?
There seems to be a dichotomy regarding this in literature.
On one side we have books like Mastery by Robert Greene that state that it takes a while for you to find your calling. With age comes wisdom.
However, a historical survey suggests that most revolutionary intellectual progress occurs in your teens and early 20s. John Nash, Albert Einstein or Mark Zuckerberg come to mind.
Thoughts? Personal insight?
