Book Description
Twenty-six years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they'd uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly eighty to one hundred years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras--or "turnings"--that always arrive in the same order and each last about twenty years. The last of these eras--the fourth turning--was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization as traumatic and transformative as the New Deal and World War II, the Civil War, or the American Revolution. Now, right on schedule, our own fourth turning has arrived. And so Neil Howe has returned with an extraordinary new prediction. What we see all around us--the polarization, the growing threat of civil conflict and global war--will culminate by the early 2030s in a climax that poses great danger and yet also holds great promise, perhaps even bringing on America's next golden age. Every generation alive today will play a vital role in determining how this crisis is resolved, for good or ill.

Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
An irreverent and self-deprecating memoir by a successful and ambitious career woman who woke up one morning and realised she didn't want to go to work - not just that day, but ever again. Kasey Edwards had a glamorous, successful and highly coveted career, flying around the world consulting to blue-chip organisations and commanding a six-figure salary. But all of a sudden her job didn't seem quite so challenging or glamorous, the role she'd been playing as a high-powered business woman felt phoney, and her whole life lost its zing. Kasey embarked on a journey of discovery into why she'd lost her purpose and meaning, and what she needed to do to find it again. Kasey also follows the story of her best friend, Emma, a senior marketing executive suffering a similar crisis. Both Emma and Kasey are well and truly over it, yet their approaches - and the results - are very different. Written with great honesty and wit, THIRTY SOMETHING AND OVER IT is a memoir for modern women seeking the key to life, love and happiness.
