Book Description
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—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. 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 pattern: 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.

Book Description
Everyone wants to have a beautiful life, a good job, a wonderful partner and family. However, not everyone is ready to pay the hidden costs. The question is not “what do you want from life?” but rather “what are you willing to sacrifice in order to get it?” The more you desire, the more work you have to put into it. Your ambitions should be reflections of your actions. What kind of suffering do you choose? Are you ready for the non-stop work required to put together your own business? Are you ready to experience all the rejection, ignored phone calls and disapproval so you can eventually find the partner that you really want? Are you ready to hurt a lot of people and disappoint thousands to finally fulfill your dreams? Everything comes with a price. When you are twenty you think it’s enough to just want something a lot. Everyone wants things and yearns for them. What makes all the difference is taking action. Only real effort counts. Small steps, trials, failures. What if months and years pass and we are no closer to our goals? Then we have to ask ourselves the question: is our goal just an impossible fantasy? This book is about small steps and failures. 100 things you need to hear when you turn 20.

Book Description
Based on a harrowing true story, the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, is a story of love, power, sex, and death during the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Theresa Dunn spends her days as a schoolteacher whose rigid Catholic upbringing has taught her to find happiness by finding the right man. But at night, her resentment of those social mores and fear of attachment lead her into the alcohol-and-drug fueled underworld of singles’ bars, where she engages in a pattern of dangerous sexual activity that threatens her safety and, ultimately, her life. Looking for Mr. Goodbar is “uncommonly well-written and well-constructed fiction, easily accessible, but full of insight and intelligence and illumination” (The New York Times Book Review). With more than four million copies in print, this seminal novel—a lightning rod for controversy upon its publication—has become a cultural touchstone that has forever influenced our perception of social rebellion and sexual empowerment.
