The age at which people are their happiest..

[DGUtley]

The age at which people are their happiest..


If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what would it be? Would you choose to be nine years old, absolved of life’s most tedious responsibilities, and instead able to spend your days playing with
friends and practicing your times tables?


Or would you choose your early 20s, when time feels endless and the world is your oyster — with friends, travel, pubs and clubs beckoning?



Western culture idealizes youth, so it may come as a surprise to learn that in a recent poll asking this question, the most popular answer wasn’t 9 or 23, but 36. Yet as a developmental psychologist, I thought that response made a lot of sense. For the last four years, I’ve been studying people’s experiences of their 30s and early 40s, and my research has led me to believe that this stage of life — while full of challenges — is much more rewarding than most might think.

I find that in today's world the 30's and 40's are the most paranoid and upset. Physically yes, I would like 30's or 40's but for piece of mind anything over 60 is better. You know yourself (hopefully as too many are still looking), you have seen more so take many things with a grain of salt, have more wisdom than when young.
