Publisher's summary

No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of William Strauss and Neil Howe’s The Fourth Turning in just a short listen.

A few key insights from Chapter 1:

1. America’s future is looking bleak. Societal standards have degraded, and people are becoming more entitled and self-focused instead of collectively working for the betterment of the nation.

2. About every two decades, America enters a new era - a new turning, totaling four turnings in the span of a century.

3. In the First Turning, the High, institutions are formed and strengthened while the power of an individual in society is weakened.

4. In the Second Turning, the Awakening, new values arise, challenging ones previously concretized during the High.

This is painfully horrible to listen to

Instead of giving us a summary of the book this is a series of single sentence summaries that each begin with a declaration of a number. If you want to hear the reader say: “One” followed by a single sentence and then “Two” followed by a second sentence and then “Three” followed by a third sentence, then buy it. But this goes on ad nauseam until you want to stick a hot poker into your eyeball to end the pain of listening to this. What a waste of time and money
