Generations by William Strauss and Neil Howe is an influential historical analysis that explores recurring generational cycles in American history and famously coined the term for the millennial generation. On The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, Tony Robbins recommended the book to the host while discussing historical patterns. Robbins later mentioned the book again on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, noting that it spans roughly 550 pages of Anglo-American history and was written by the same authors behind The Fourth Turning. Josh Clark also discussed the work on Stuff You Should Know, pointing out that Howe and Strauss published the book in 1991 to cover American history from 1584 to 2069, identifying it as the exact source where the millennial generation was originally defined. Additionally, Tim Pool highlighted the book on Timcast IRL, describing it as a significant read during a broader conversation, though he admitted he could not recall the authors' names.
