About this listen

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 every one 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 millennium.

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 21st century.

A thought provoking analysis which does not lend itself easily to audiobook adaptation

An important book containing important ideas, particularly as we undergo a “4th Turning” event. While the material is solid, the nature of the work which is heavy on diagrams, tables and explained “cycles” does not lend itself easily to audiobook adaptation. I would recommend a physical copy of the book over audiobook in this case.
