Episode 25: Generational Hormone Theory

In 1997 the book ‘The Fourth Turning’ laid out a controversial theory that history is driven by a four phase generational cycle. This compelling theory has influenced a wide range of people from Al Gore to Steve Bannon.

In this episode, our guest Janne Miettine, puts forward a strong case that cyclical hormone levels drive societal behaviour and are the mechanism behind the phase changes. Janne has the courage to go against the grain, and the determination and aptitude to sweat the details, the hallmarks of the pioneer that challenges the smug status quo.
