Late Bloomers will help you become more patient with the speed of your progress by identifying the damaging influences of early achievement culture and societal pressure, and how to be proud of reaching your peak later in life.

Most of us have internalized the idea that we need to excel in school, graduate with honors, and land a dream job all by the time we're in our mid-twenties to be considered successful.

We're bombarded with stories of entrepreneurs and celebrities becoming rich and successful at a young age, which in turn can make us feel like we need to have reached our goals by the age of 30.

Bestselling author Rich Karlgaard, however, left college with few prospects and no idea what he wanted to do, only to find success much later in life as he went on to become the publisher of Forbes.

In his book, Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement, Kaarlgard explores the reasons behind our performance anxiety, detailing the damaging effects this pressure can have on young minds.
