Like most of mankind's great theories, the cyclical view of the universe is at once elegant in its simplicity and utterly persuasive. Scholars, pundits, and experts in all walks of life'”from Carl Jung to Arthur Schlesinger, from Paul Volcker to Lee Iacocca'”proclaim the validity of the cyclical view. In this fascinating and concise work, Samuel A. Schreiner, Jr. spells out in layperson's terms the recurring forces that can predict changes in one's health, moods, and relationships; in financial investments, the weather, politics, and the state of the world. The World According to Cycles enables readers to recognize many naturally recurring patterns in their daily lives. Incorporating over fifty years of research on hundreds of different cycles by scientists affiliated with the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, The World According to Cycles will help readers apply a greater understanding of the rhythms of everyday existence to their personal relationships, emotional well-being, employer-employee relations, judgment- and decision-making in business and finance, as well as to develop the ability to predict a wide variety of occurrences.
