History shows us the future

Listening to Gary talk about how many people look to The System or politicians and celebrities for help and support, I was reminded of a part in a talk by Jim Rohn when he recounts a meeting he was in with a lot of influential businessmen who asked him what he thought the next decade would be like and he said he told them that it would be about like it’s always been.

The book Generations: The History of America’s Future, by the late William Strauss and Neil Howe is the most insightful discussion of the cyclical nature of our society and instructive on what to expect next. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and how knowledge of it can help us prepare and take advantage of the history that’s to come.
