About this product

Product Information

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.

    Society is cyclical, and it always has been

    Truly eye opening, an explanation of who we are, amd where we're headed. Written in 1997 this book accurately predicts what is happening in American society 14 years later.

    Ignores Vietnam Generation

    This book requires the reader to take a leap of faith. It is way too general to be of any use other than a speculation. The author's dislike for the baby boomer generation is obvious, as he points out how selfish and greedy they are. HOWEVER, the authors conveniently overlook the service of many in the Vietnam War, and the betrayal by friends and government upon returning. This book is heavy on speculation, a smattering of facts, and half of the book is setting up the thesis (history, events, are cyclical). It is a laborious read, and you'd be better off just reading about the various eras in separate books with more depth.

    Highly recommended book that explains the world today

    This Fourth Turning is an eye opening read that goes in depth into American history & it's "Turnings". Dated back to the 1400's up until today & even predicts what is possible during the fourth turning - that being a Crisis. Written in 1997 I believe the predictions given explain a lot about what modern day looks like today. While reading this book I tried to connect the dot's to what modern day looks like & how it is where we got to where we are today. Honestly while reading the more I realized that history does repeat itself time after time again. It was though, a more challenging read for me as well as more of a novice reader, I was recommended this book by being shown the YouTube video explaining this books main points. I was inspired by the video & had to go more in depth with the ...

    A fundamental change in the US is taking place now.

    A historical summary of the phases of change for about each hundred years in the US. At each final (fourth) turning deep serious changes take place. Listen to the current news and the "prophecy" is taking place & coming true.

    The Fourth Turning

    I read other readers' comments about this book the history/politics blog http://belmont.blogspot.com/. The thesis is that US history follows predictable cycles. We are currently in early days of a cycle called "fourth turning". This cycle is one of chaos as events take a new direction and will last about 20-25 years. Following current events the reader can see how we are indeed in a new era of big changes and no clue how it will play out. Very interesting and thoughtful book with new ideas. Recommend it to readers who have curiosity about history and history in the making.
