Just finished Neil Howe's "The Fourth Turning is Here" and 10/10 would not recommend.
Howe uses historical trends to make deterministic predictions about the future - a dubious proposition at best - based on 80ish year generational cycles of which he has only 6, a tiny sample size, to draw trends from. One of those doesn't even fit his grand pattern he argues for.
