Trends 2000 : How to Prepare for and Profit from the Changes

This book has some very insightful "Trendposts" as the author refers to them. One example was "the newfocus on health will become a powerful trend, creating both confusion and job opportunities: In response to an obvious and growing demand, a number of new professions will be creatd - among them, vitamin counselor.

Trends 200--A Must Read

As a radio talk show host I have interviewed over 1,000 authors and professionals. Gerry Celente is not only an exciting radio guest, but he has written what I believe to be one of the most important and dynamic books of the year. Trends 2000 is a blueprint for living in the 21st Century. Whether you're interested in the emerging job market, the economic shifts affecting the global society, the re-structuring of politics or the technological advances that will most affect us and our families, Trend 2000 is a must read. It is not surprising that Gerry Celente appears frequently on CNN and is in constant demand as a speaker at corporate meetings around the world. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to dig behind the headlines and evening news broadcasts to discover how to take advantage of the major shifts taking place both here and around the globe.

The Future has not only arrived, it's almost past

To remark upon the prescience of Gerry Celente's latest compilation of his trend research is, of course, to remark upon the evidence that is everywhere around us of the roots of major shifts, really major changes, in the ways we work, live, love and die are. Celente's books are not for the average, Joe Sixpack, reader; in a way this book, and its predecessor, are an intelligence test. To digest all of this information a certain knowledge and grasp of recent history is essential. The book is totally contextual; readers in cultures far from the USA may find it bewildering, at best.I cannot say that I "liked" this book, but I certainly have the highest regard for the depth and variety of the effort. After all, does one ever "enjoy" most serious reference texts? (OK, all you molecular scientists out there, you don't count.)Anyone prepared to spend a few thoughtful hours pondering what to make of the next thirty years or so will find this a fascinating addition to his library.Curtis B.

A survival handbook for the 21st century

Gerald's book is a must read for anyone who plans on not only surviving but excelling through the new millennium. Many of his previous "forecasts" have come to light and he is a pioneer in " reality forecasting" and not tainted by outside funding or lobbyist groups. His projections are supported by unbiased facts. I especially like his "trendpost" marks throughout the book which make for great reference points.Read this book and it will wake you up to what is really going on in the world! Take action now and profit later... many great tips on where to invest and how to live a great and simple life. I love his writting style, consise and straight forward. I also enjoy his trends journal- a must for social and financial responsibilty! Good Stuff Mr. Celente !

a must read for transitioning into the 21st century

This book is for anyone interested in the truth regarding political, economic, business, technological, environmental, health, real estate and all other trends pertinent to living in our ever-evolving world. It is shocking, enlightening, easy to follow, and rather than leaving the reader in a gloom and doom frame of mind as is popular among some predictors, Mr. Celente plants positive ideas in the readers mind as to what to expect, what to do. It is a book that will surely raise your consciousness and stir your conscience
