1. How do you think fluid and crystallized intelligence apply to comedians?
Could it be possible that comedians are better at joke writing during their fluid intelligence years, and better at storytelling during their crystallized years? Or are they as doomed as everyone else?
2. How do fluid and crystalized intelligence relate to creativity?
Is creativity a fluid intelligence thing, or does creativity take another form under crystalized intelligence?
3. Is decline about age or about the number of years you've been working in your field?
4. If I wanted to become more spiritual, what would you suggest?
5. Your latest book is aimed at strivers who have already achieved success; how would you apply your advice to young people?
6. One of the most common regrets of the dying are working too hard, but also not going for their dreams. Could this mean some people will regret not striving enough?
7. Do you have anything more to say about learning languages in the second half of life?
I was fascinated when you wrote that learning languages actually gets easier as you age. How true is this? I know Tim Ferriss believes it's easier for adults than for children.
