Publisher's Summary

After the Roaring '20s came the Great Depression. After the Roaring 2000s came the Great Recession.

We're now entering the winter season of the 80-year four season economic cycle. It's during this season that we'll clear the decks with a devastating crash and debilitating deflation. The economy and markets will shed the excesses created during the preceding fall bubble boom season and prepare the soil for new blossoming in innovation and a spring boom.

After the blustering bull market of 2009-2015, we are now preparing for a shakeout more painful than anything we've seen before. We have eight years of unprecedented government stimulus and money creation to thank for stretching this bubble beyond imagination and making the burst more painful than anything we've ever experienced.

There's no better guide to financial cycles than Harry S. Dent Jr., the best-selling author of The Demographic Cliff and many other books, and the editor of the Boom & Bust newsletter. For more than 30 years he has earned a reputation for eerily accurate predictions about the world economy and the financial markets.

Now Dent has an urgent new warning about the next crisis. The consequences will be devastating - but there's a bright side that he's calling "the sale of a lifetime". For anyone who heeds the signs and follows Dent's advice, the looming correction is a once-in-a-century opportunity to gather immense wealth.

In this pressing audiobook, you'll learn not only why a collapse is imminent, but how to identify bubbles and tune in to the cycles driving that drive booms and busts.

Practical, accessible, and illuminating, The Sale of a Lifetime will protect you from the tough challenges ahead and help you cash in on the unique opportunities of the next few years. At stake is nothing less than your entire financial future.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A rant on predictions but some good insights

The book was OK. Worth a listen for a different point of view. There was so many numbers, percentages and graphs it will make your head spin. Take the dates with a grain of salt. Although I believe it's possible for some predictions to come true, they could be years of the mark.
Throughout the book he mentions he will tell you what to do to get the sale of a lifetime. Just be aware there is only a brief 15mins where you feel any actually advice. The rest is just him talking about the figures and theories he has for the future. The basics of the book is everything will crash, sell all your investments now and buy in India after the crash.
I wasn't overly impressed with the book but it gave me insights I might not have noticed otherwise.

Generalising doomsayer with hints of quantitative redemption

Obviously selling fear. I think there is good quantitative research and analysis somewhere here but it’s credibility is lost by broad generalisations and “make a million dollars before lunch” kind of sentiment.

I returned it - especially considering it’s 2018 (although to give credit, the trump election/ tax cuts have further artificially boosted the market... will be interested if things play out like dent suggests a bit later).

Real data, real eye opener.

The number of charts and date ranges referred to make some parts a little difficult to follow. Otherwise a real eye opener.

I see cycles

This is a either a very disappointing construct or a vastly overrated author. There are no economic truths or insights in this volume, there is just a desire to fundamentally disagree with all other economists. By simply using the word "cycles." Sun spots is sophisticated as it gets here. This author is simply wanting to sensationalise himself. Very disappointing.
