Arthur Brooks, in his book "From Strength to Strength," reminds us of the power wisdom accumulated over life in what he calls crystallized intelligence.

Crystallized intelligence represents the wealth of knowledge, skills, and wisdom we accumulate throughout our lives.  It's the expertise we gain from our careers, relationships, and experiences. And the great news is, this form of intelligence continues to grow as we age, providing a rich foundation for an impactful second act and fulfilling retirement. 

We often downplay the Power of Experience as we plan or begin retirement which means we loose sight of how we can achieve make a lasting impact in the 2nd half of life.
