Born between 1961 and 1981, Gen-Xers (alias “13ers”) are literally the thirteenth generation to know the American flag and nation. This book shows how their “location in history” (Xers were, in fact, the real “children of the Consciousness Revolution”) helps explain their pragmatic attitude and unduly negative reputation.

Looking back to the dawn of the modern world, The Fourth Turning reveals a distinct pattern in human history, cycles lasting about the length of a long human life. Each cycle is composed of four “turnings,” and each turning lasts the span of a generation (about 20 years). There are four kinds of turnings (High, Awakening, Unraveling, Crisis), and they always occur in the same order.

A decade ago, in Generations, Strauss and Howe predicted many of the youth trends America is beginning to see today. Now, in Millennials Rising, the authors show how today’s teens are recasting the image of youth from downbeat and alienated to upbeat and engaged. The authors also show…how Millennials are held to higher standards than adults apply to themselves how they’re a lot less violent, vulgar, and sexually charged than the teen culture older people are producing for them how, over the next decade, they’ll entirely recast what it means to be young and how, in time, they could emerge as the next great generation.

This new handbook is designed to help you with the key challenge in pop-culture: figuring out today’s young people before
your competitors do. Suppose, in 1962, you possessed a roadmap that pointed you to Woodstock. Suppose, in 1980, you held in your hands
a guide to how MTV and hip hop would take off. Millennials and the Pop Culture does exactly that, for the pop landscape of
tomorrow. In this handbook, Howe, Strauss, and industry insider Pete Markiewicz bare the heart and soul of a new generation of youth.
The Millennials, born in 1982 and after, are anything but X. And they are already rocking the world of pop culture.

A new article by Neil Howe and William Strauss was released in the July-August edition of the Harvard Business Review.
“The Next 20 Years: How Customer and Workforce Attitudes Will Evolve” explains how today’s three dominant generations—Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials—will evolve in the workplace, the economy, community, and politics over the coming decades. Generations are among the most powerful forces in history, explain the authors. Tracking their march through time lends order—and even a measure of predictability—to long-term trends.
