“This was set at a time when the average life expectancy was about 61 years old for men and 65 for women.“
Bullcrap. That is an artifact of crazy levels of infant and child mortality. The fact is if you made it safely to adulthood, people commonly reached the same ages as today.
Agree. My Great grandmother lived to be 93, my grandmother same and my Mom will be 91 in July.
OMG - that’s what I was going to say. Years ago my mother said that - backed up by my grandmother who was born in the late 1800’s. Lots of children died young bringing the averages way down.
And this young person interviewed “more than 100 top authorities about leadership and life”. OK, these are folks who sat at a desk with interesting work most of their work lives - either for a company or a University etc. I’ll bet money the person who wrote this is a democrat...
Indeed.
My mom’s mom lived to be 86
My dads mom made it to 92
I plane on staying around at least another 26
