Book Description

Current upheavals in American society continue to perplex even the most astute gurus, confuse our most poignant political pundits, and baffle analysts on a daily basis. Is there a viable paradigm that might bring clarity to this seeming chaos? Tsunami Watch exposes the reality and implications of unavoidable power shifts within American society and offers a fresh perspective on how we might approach them in the most constructive manner. Often subtle, silent, and subconscious, current sociological phenomena need to be publicly examined and openly discussed if America intends to navigate them well and mitigate their historically devastating consequences.Will America embrace the value and unfathomed potential of collective diversity, unified in purpose? How will we, both individually and corporately, tackle the Great Experiment’s newest challenge?

Customers Review:

Howard and Kosten have pulled off an impressive feat. In one brief work, they have calmly and cooly demonstrated several things–our country is facing the eminent and enormous challenge of cultural power shifts; our government’s track record with past shifts is disappointing; ineffective and unfair policies and legislation stem ultimately from fear, even hatred, that are present in my own heart, too; and we can either fail at this challenge OR we can choose to overcome it. The writers make very clear that reconciliation is the path forward, and each one of us has a part to play! I highly recommend this book to you, and urge you to teach your children and the next generation to “love their neighbors as themselves.”
Wow…what an incredible read…and I read a lot of books. Tsunami Watch drills down into timeless principles that most of us understand, but do not acknowledge. Whether you are on the right, left, or middle of the political aisle, it will challenge you. I enjoyed this book because it rises above the current quagmire of political discussion. Howard and Kosten provide an analysis of history from a 30,000-foot level, and then take us to the ground level of today. They point out that most Americans cannot fathom the United States not continuing in its present form, forever. In today’s 24-hour news cycle, it is easy to think of nations in the framework of the next four or eight years. History teaches a different lesson. When President Obama was elected, prominent Democrats predicted the end of the Republican party, and the end of conservative ideas, forever. Now that President Trump is President, prominent Republicans make the same fallacious predictions about the future. Politics is cyclical, and nations and kingdoms come and go. Sadly, we can observe how many people treat their own family and friends over political views voiced on social media, or in person. We have become an “unfriend” culture without any attempt to understand each other. The illusion of control suggests that we may individually control cataclysmic events or shifts in politics, when all that we can control is ourselves.
