The Fourth Turning
Author: William Strauss and Neil Howe
"A treatment of inter-generational dynamics that are a must-read for the times we live in. You will find yourself and your generation in this book, and it will help you to understand why you are so different from the other humans walking around."
If you were to meet me at a mixer and we got talking about books, this book would be one of the first that comes up for me. It’s hard to overstate how much this book has shaped my world view.
Gaining an understanding of generational dynamics and how similar the time we are living in today is from similar cycles in the past has been revolutionary for me. It has allowed me to observe what goes on in politics or other macro spheres with a certain amount of comfort, knowing we’ve seen everything we’re seeing today before.
I can’t recommend this book more highly.
