This is the third and final post in a series in which I present people whose age defy their incredible talents. I've already presented three such individuals in the first post and three more in the second.

The authors of Willpower conducted an experiment where they invited two groups of students to sit at a table with several options: freshly baked cookies, chocolates, and a bowl of radish. The first group was allowed to eat the cookies and chocolates, and the second less fortunate group, was only allowed to eat the radish. Naturally, the students in the second group had to use a large dose of…

My last Delivering Happiness blog post about people who are amazing despite their age was a real pleasure to write.
