Kindle Notes & Highlights
A leg up in a competitive world,
A second-act setback—in which, having started confidently along a particular trajectory, we come face-to-face with our own limitations.�
But our genes don’t merely express who we are. They contain all manner of talents from previous generations that we may not benefit from personally but that can be passed on to our progeny.
It goes without saying that our lives are intricate and multifaceted. But they also tend to have a larger arc that takes us from a position of youthful self-assurance through a period of setbacks, leading to a third phase in which, if we’re lucky, we’ve confronted our limitations and become deeper people ready to lead richer lives.�
