answer:Hmmm…well, I don’t see anything there that is extraordinary, infact…the study of well being peaking in men age 65 is contradictory to other stats that have shown that the highest rates of suicide are amongst white men over age 60. lol Personally I know and know of more depressed and grumpy, negative middle aged guys over the last few years than optimistic cheerful ones. lol I dunno…my brains still sharp and I just turned 50 a few months ago..notice a bit of the short term memory loss like forgetting where I parked my car on occasion, but overall, the article really didn’t say much of anything eye opening. I do agree that most middle agers are happier and more optimistic than they might have been in their younger years, but I don’t think it’s brain power, it’s simply life experience IMO. Overall I’d rate that article on a 1–10 scale at about a 4, as far as telling me something I didn’t already know. Pretty dilute…meh. haha
