RE: Morticia's Book Review: The Fourth Turning

I haven't read it, but this idea that history moves in cycles and that each person has those four stages... wow! It sounds like a totally different way of understanding the past and even what we're experiencing right now. It definitely sounds like a book that will leave you reeling, and although you say it can be a little scary, maybe you're right and sometimes you just need that jolt to wake up. You've got me curious! Thanks for sharing. Ciao!

I'm so glad the idea resonated with you! That cyclical view of history really is a game changer—it challenges the usual linear way we’re taught to think about the past and the future. What struck me the most was how the patterns apply not just to nations, but even to individual generations. It’s eerie how closely it can mirror what we’re living through right now.

And yes, it is a bit unsettling at times, but like you said—it’s the kind of jolt that doesn’t paralyze you, it wakes you up. Makes you more alert to the bigger picture, and more reflective about where we might be headed next. If you do end up reading it, I’d love to hear what you think! Ciao and thanks for the lovely comment 😊📚✨
