About the Book

The Boomer Century is the companion book to the PBS documentary of the same name (pbs.org/boomercentury). The project was the brainchild of Ken Dychtwald, PhD, (www.agewave.com) and it studies the massive Boomer Generation; past, present and future. The producers of the program interviewed thirty or more experts in various fields, sent me the transcripts of those interviews and told me to write a book.

The book is organized into the three sections:

The Times, They Are a Changin'
(The Past)
Get a Job!
(The Present)
When I'm 64
(The Future)

From 1946-1964, American babies
came into this world at a rate of over
four million per year –
that’s one every 8 seconds.
