My fellow writer and friend Jake introduced me to the book, The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy - What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny by William Strauss and Neil Howe.
Though it was written in 1997, it seems especially prescient in 2011, discussing economic, cultural, ecological, military, and politicaldistress.
The idea that your generation isn’t like the generation that shaped you, but rather has much in common with the generation that shaped the generation that shaped you, seems dead right to me.
So does the labeling of archetypes as nomad, artist, hero and prophet that rise in each generation.
