  The book has an interesting concept, that generations have personalities. There are 4 personalities. The personalities were given names but never well enough defined for them to take in my mind. There were lots of glib historical references but without enough depth to educate. Overall I felt the authors had a good theory supported by lots of knowledge but they were unable to communicate it meaningfully to me.”

  “I tried - it's just not by kind of read... The overall concept is intriguing and I do believe that the world is cyclical - events cause generational differences and generations cause events. But, YAWN, it's very dry and textbook-ish. I need a story, characters, plot.”

  “It is really folly to predict the future. Dated book with some insights about people and what might be next.”

  “Excellent. Worth the time and efforts it takes to understand it in order to use it to interpret events taking place today (or in the past, and, with some variance, the future). If you're trying to figure out the world and where it is heading, and you need a decent reference point based on historical research and analysis, this book certainly will help.”
