The Fourth Turning

Now available as an unabridged recording, The Fourth Turning explores a provocative theory of historical cycles, identifying recurring patterns in American history that span five centuries. The authors, William Strauss and Neil Howe, describe a four-phase cycle—High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis—that shape society's progression through periods of growth, rebellion, individualism, and upheaval. By examining past eras, the book offers deep insights into current trends and potential future developments, encouraging listeners to understand their place in this ongoing cycle.
