I’m fifty-five and not a day goes by where I don’t think that I’m losing my mind: remembering names of people, remembering what companies do, and remembering where I put my glasses/keys/phone. According to Barbara Strauch, however, brain science suggests that I might be growing smarter in some areas:

• Getting the “gist” of stuff
• Determing who I can trust
• Knowing what to ignore and when to shut up

This is good to know! Now you know that if I quickly understand what you do, figure out that I can’t trust you, ignore you, AND can’t remember your name, it’s just a part of growing old.
