The Fourth Turning

Now available as an unabridged recording, The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe delves into a transformative theory that examines the recurring cycles of history and the roles of different generations—Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials—in times of upheaval. The authors present a compelling narrative that traces five hundred years of American history, identifying a rhythmic pattern composed of four distinct eras: High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis. By analyzing this cyclical approach, they provide insights into how understanding our past can help us navigate the present and anticipate future challenges.
