Cycles: The Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events

Cycles: The Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events is a groundbreaking exploration of the hidden rhythms that shape human history, economics, and natural phenomena. Written by Edward R. Dewey, founder of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, with the editorial collaboration of Og Mandino, the book makes a compelling case that life’s events are not random but governed by repeating patterns of time.

Dewey traces the origins of cycle research back to the 1930s when he was tasked by the U.S. Department of Commerce to investigate the Great Depression. Frustrated by the conflicting explanations of economists, he began to study data directly and uncovered consistent rhythmic repetitions across diverse fields—from business and commodity prices to biology, weather, and even social behavior.

The book presents evidence of recurring cycles in stock prices, wars, population trends, weather patterns, and personal emotions, illustrating how a hidden order underlies both major world events and everyday life. These discoveries suggest that human destiny may be more influenced by natural laws and cosmic rhythms than by politics or chance.

Organized into 14 chapters, the work moves from introducing the “mystery of cycles” to specific applications: mob psychology, rhythms of production, cycles of Wall Street, war patterns, and even cosmic influences from the universe at large. Dewey and Mandino’s accessible writing style makes complex data approachable, offering readers both a scientific framework and a philosophical challenge: are we merely actors in a play written by time’s rhythms?

For traders, economists, historians, and anyone intrigued by patterns in human affairs, Cycles is both a revelation and a tool. It bridges science, sociology, and metaphysics, encouraging readers to rethink causation itself and to recognize cycles as powerful predictors of future events.
