William Strauss

NATIONAL BESTSELLER. Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America's past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or "turnings"—that comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Hailed by national leaders as politically diverse as former Vice President Al Gore and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Generations has been heralded by reviewers as a brilliant, if somewhat unsettling, reassessment of where America is heading.William Strauss and Neil Howe posit the history of America as a succession of generational biographies, beginning in 1584 and encompassing everyone through the children of today. Their bold theory is that each generation belongs to one of four types, and that these types repeat sequentially in a fixed pattern. The vision of Generations allows us to plot a recurring cycle in American history—a cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises—from the founding colonists through the present day and well into this millenium.Generations is at once a refreshing historical narrative and a thrilling intuitive leap that reorders not only our history books but also our expectations for the twenty-first century.

This book shows how mainstream economic theory is fundamentally flawed. It shows how the expectation for endless growth is so deeply ingrained into what we expect the future to be that we do not even question the assumption. But this work, rather than follow an ecological path to explore limits to growth, is an "inside job" that shows that when modern economic growth theories are decoupled from assumptions that have no basis in how the real world is developing, but are, for the most part, mathematical conveniences applied for the sake of "stability", then the long-run economic outcome is no longer capitalism. Decision makers assume that changes today will lead to predictable and/or reversible outcomes. This is a myth. There are fallacies throughout the assumptions of predictability, reversibility, and endless growth. When reasoning is based upon a flawed foundation, bad choices can appear reasonable. This work shows that the future is not what it is supposed to be.

Au début, il y a le Sommet, une période d'expansion confiante. Vient ensuite l'Éveil, une période d'exploration spirituelle et de rébellion. Puis vient une Décomposition, au cours de laquelle l'individualisme triomphe de l'effondrement des institutions. C'est alors que survient une Crise - le Quatrième Tournant - lorsque la société traverse une grande et périlleuse porte de l'histoire. William Strauss et Niel Howe vont changer votre façon de voir le monde - et votre place dans ce monde. Avec une originalité flamboyante, Le Quatrième Tournant éclaire le passé, explique le présent et réimagine l'avenir. Plus remarquable encore, il offre une prophétie tout à fait convaincante sur la manière dont le passé de l'Amérique prédit son avenir. Strauss et Howe fondent cette vision sur une théorie provocatrice de l'histoire américaine. Les auteurs remontent cinq cents ans en arrière et révèlent un schéma précis : l'histoire moderne évolue par cycles. Chacun d'entre eux dure à peu près la durée d'une longue vie humaine et est composé de quatre ères de vingt ans - ou "tournants" - qui constituent le rythme saisonnier de l'histoire : croissance, maturation, entropie et renaissance. Illustrant ce cycle par une brillante analyse de la période de l'après Seconde Guerre mondiale, Le Quatrième Tournant propose des prédictions audacieuses sur la manière dont nous pouvons tous nous préparer, individuellement et collectivement, à ce rendez-vous avec le destin.

Ao longo da história, os homens viram as mulheres com enigmas e intrigas, e com razão. Afinal, as mulheres são muito diferentes dos homens.

Talvez você tenha acabado de sair de um longo relacionamento ou queira finalmente parar de jogar em campo e se estabelecer. De qualquer forma, este livro lhe dará as respostas que você estava procurando. Embora alguns desses conceitos possam ser aplicados a relacionamentos aleatórios, o foco deste livro está em datas sérias. Se você está cheio de boas intenções, mas talvez com poucas ideias, este livro é para você. Independentemente de suas circunstâncias pessoais ou história, as informações contidas neste livro podem ser de grande ajuda quando se trata de entender as mulheres. Vamos encarar : o mundo feminino pode parecer um pouco misterioso para o homem comum. Os caras nem sempre são bons em ler a mente de uma mulher para descobrir o que realmente está acontecendo em sua vida.Aqui un novo olhar para uma mulher hoje. Além de ser informativo, espero que isso também dissipe alguns dos preconceitos ou mitos que poluíram o mundo do namoro.

Al principio está la Cumbre, un periodo de expansión confiada. Luego, viene el Despertar, una época de exploración espiritual y de rebelión. Después, llega el Desengaño, durante el cual triunfa el individualismo y retroceden las instituciones. Es entonces cuando sobreviene una Crisis —el Cuarto Giro— en la que la sociedad atraviesa una importante y peligrosa puerta de la historia. William Strauss y Neil Howe harán que cambie su manera de ver el mundo, y de cuál es su lugar en este mundo. Con una resplandeciente originalidad, El cuarto giro ilumina el pasado, explica el presente e imagina el porvenir. Pero lo más notable es que ofrece una profecía mostrando claramente cómo el pasado de Estados Unidos predice su futuro. Strauss y Howe fundamentan esta visión en una provocadora teoría sobre la historia americana. Los autores se remontan quinientos años atrás y revelan un esquema muy la historia moderna evoluciona por ciclos. Cada ciclo tiene la duración aproximada de una larga vida humana y se compone de cuatro eras de veinte años —o «giros»— que constituyen el ritmo estacional de la crecimiento, madurez, entropía y renacimiento. Ilustrando este ciclo con un brillante análisis del periodo que siguió a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, El Cuarto Giro propone unas audaces predicciones sobre este periodo en el que ya estamos plenamente inmersos y que debería extenderse hasta el año 2030, aproximadamente. Los autores muestran igualmente cómo deberíamos afrontar, individual y colectivamente, los cambios sociales que, sin duda, trae consigo la vivencia de una etapa tan importante de la historia humana y que, con la globalización, no solo afecta a Estados Unidos sino a toda la civilización occidental.
