Cycles: The Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events

Cycles is a groundbreaking exploration of the hidden rhythms that shape human history, economics, nature, and the universe itself. Edward R. Dewey, founder of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, together with bestselling author Og Mandino, presents a compelling case for the existence of natural cycles that trigger wars, depressions, stock market crashes, booms, social trends, and even weather patterns.

The book begins with man’s age-old quest to predict the future, contrasting failed superstitions with the emerging science of cycles. Dewey recounts his own journey during the Great Depression, when he was tasked with uncovering why prosperity collapsed so suddenly. His research revealed powerful, recurring rhythms across seemingly unrelated fields—from lynx populations and salmon abundance to real estate booms, political unrest, wars, and human emotions.

Organized into fourteen chapters, the work investigates cycles in nature, the economy, psychology, religion, production, prices, Wall Street, wars, and the cosmos. With over 70 charts and figures, the authors illustrate the uncanny regularity of these patterns, demonstrating that events we consider random often follow predictable intervals.

This book is not only a history of cycle research but also a guide to perceiving hidden order in human affairs. It challenges the reader to consider whether humanity is truly free or subtly guided by unseen forces repeating with mathematical precision. For traders, economists, historians, scientists, and thinkers, Cycles provides a profound perspective: to understand tomorrow, study the rhythms of yesterday.
