Howe's "The Fourth Turning Is Here" reveals how history's predictable cycles signal America's current crisis era. Praised by historian David Kaiser as potentially prophetic, this bestseller's theory of generational cycles has eerily foreshadowed 9/11 and 2008's financial collapse. Are we witnessing history's inevitable pattern unfold?

History doesn't just happen randomly-it follows rhythms and patterns that repeat across centuries. Neil Howe's "The Fourth Turning Is Here" arrives with chilling precision, confirming what many have sensed: our era of chaos was not only foreseeable but scheduled. Twenty-five years after his landmark work with William Strauss predicted a great crisis around 2020, we find ourselves exactly where their theory suggested-amid pandemic, polarization, and institutional collapse. The book's core insight is deceptively simple yet profound: history moves in cycles of roughly 80-100 years, with four distinct "turnings" or seasons. The Fourth Turning represents winter-a period of crisis and reconstruction that has historically produced America's most consequential moments: the Revolution, Civil War, and World War II. What makes this perspective so valuable isn't just its accuracy in predicting our current troubles, but its roadmap through them. We're approximately fifteen years into what historically has been a 20-25 year process of social transformation. Have you noticed how everything feels different now? The rules that governed society for decades suddenly seem inadequate. This isn't just another political cycle or economic downturn-it's a fundamental reshaping of our social order. And while that's terrifying, it also contains extraordinary potential for renewal.
