NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

“A startling vision of what the cycles of history predict for the future.”—USA Weekend

The main ideas are fascinating and ring true in many ways. That said this book is very very very hard to listen to. The author goes on and on and on and on in minute and tedious detail about every event that happened in the past 200 years to tie everything to his theory. The book and main themes get lost in the detail. I had to skip through parts to finally get through to the end of the book. I quit listening and lost interest many times. Two-thirds to three-quarters of this book was unnecessary.

I love the topic but...

The continual repeat of each Archetype, on every saeculum turning, was unnecessary and as I said above repetitive. The explanation of seasonality in generational turning was very interesting and believable.

Dry, Boring..

…Interesting looking at the generations and cycles. This was well done – Gives lots of new creative ideas to explore. One of the more captivating and thought provoking audiobooks I’ve listened to.

Worth the time more than once
