“You know the future is coming … attack it before it attacks you.”
Gerald Celente, a pioneer trend strategist, founded the Trends Research Institute in 1980. He is the author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking: Far Better than Megatrends (Warner Books), and publisher of the internationally distributed quarterly Trends Journal.

Most important, Celente is a pure political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente—whose motto is “think for yourself”—observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends, seeing them for what they are – not as what he’d like them to be.
As with a doctor who gives his diagnosis after gathering the facts, whether or not you like the prognosis doesn’t alter the outcome, it’s simply what is. And while Celente holds a US passport, he considers himself a citizen of the world.
At the heart of Celente’s work – and his remarkable durability as an innovative, accurate forecaster – is his unique perspectives on current events forming future trends. He developed the Globalnomic® methodology to identify, track, forecast and manage trends.To this day, this methodology stands by itself for its accuracy, vision and penetrating insights into the trends taking shape across the globe.

A True Story about Love, Wisdom, and the Soul of America
Review from “Booklist”:
Celente, a top trends analyst featured in newspapers and on TV, was going through a painful divorce. Zizi, his 80-year-old aunt, had just lost her husband. They had already been close, but now they were spending much more time together and forming a special bond.
Zizi’s endearing, homespun wisdom has been all but lost. Working through painful phlebitis in her legs, she continues to serve up huge Italian meals for Gerald and impart her thoughts on the sorry state of affairs of fractured families, the displaced and abandoned elderly, and the corrupt government that says it cares but does little.
“Look at all these pills they want me to take,” she says. “What are they, crazy? If I took every one of them I’d either be a drug addict or I’d be dead.” As she looks back on missed opportunities, she tells Gerald, “Don’t save all your money for a rainy day, because you may end up spending it all on rain. Spend some on sunshine. Enjoy your life.”
Zizi’s wisdom is good medicine for Gerald and can help anyone through tough times.
