Book Reviews of The Fourth Turning
Book Review: The circle beats a straight line any day!
Summary: 5 Stars
S & H present us with a cyclical view of current history to counteract our culturally biased linear view, which exalts progress over everything. I particularly enjoyed the rich array of material supportive of seeing history as an extension of nature, which generally moves in cycles (spring, summer, autumn, winter, e.g.). As a Silent Generation elder I have seen three of the secular turnings S & H identify and have little doubt that the fourth is coming right on schedule in the next decade Clearly, our culture is headed for a crisis: few of our major institutions are working very well. I am aware of these things intuitively and don't require mountains of data.. And I'm willing to place my bets on their analysis, along with my investments and my future plans. I have been using the S & H generational analysis in my business, with my children, and in my social life for the past 6 years and found it highly useful, entertaining, and insightful. The Fourth Turning enriches their thesis and drives it into a new way of approaching history. I think this book is a "must read" for every thoughtful person. Alan Gilburg
