Short Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author and speaker Roy H. Williams and business guru Michael R. Drew comes a revolutionary book outlining the surprising societal phenomenon that unlocks the secrets to success in the worlds of business, politics, advertising, entertainment, and more.

Full Synopsis
Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth, even our definitions of success are periodically renegotiated based on the new values society chooses to use as a lens to judge what is acceptable.

Are these new values randomly chosen or is there a pattern? Pendulum chronicles the stuttering history of western society; that endless back-and-forth swing between one excess and another, always reminded of what we left behind.

There is a pattern and it is forty years: 2003 was a fulcrum year, as was 1963, its opposite.

Pendulum explains where we have been as a society, how we got here, and where we are headed. If you would benefit from a peek into the future, you would do well to listen to this book.

"The authors deliver their own work in an engaging manner. . . . As they alternate between, and even within, examples, the frequent changes in narrator keep listeners on their toes." ---AudioFile

"Pendulum offers fascinating insights into the surprises and revelations of shifting social trends throughout history. Roy H. Williams and Michael Drew answer the age-old question: What makes us tick?" ---Harvey Mackay, author of Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

"They've written a unique guidebook that has an interesting perspective for marketers, entrepreneurs, and anyone [who] is thinking about how to live in the now---and in the future." ---Tony Hsieh, author of Delivering Happiness
