With all of that said, this book does have value for those looking for entertainment rather than research and facts. Perhaps Nostradamus was predicting events running in parable with the years to have history repeat itself.

If his methods are complex as I'm certain they are, I'd like to see him release another revision or stand alone title with the years listed with the quatrains. A chart, or a list of references from the author with the years would've been appreciated. Nostradamus never mentions exact dates, and upon my conclusion from the explanation, it appears they were "cherry picked" and can be deciphered to fit a number of years if they matched up according to the astronomical charts. The method was briefly mentioned in the introduction, but it is vague and confusing. The author never makes clear his method on how he deciphered the years to the events in the quatrain. That's a perfect example of retroactive clairvoyance. He can easily go back and edit his summary to match that quatrain to Germany's Angela Merkel, or, South Korea's president Park Geun-Hye. As we know, this wasn't meant to be, but let's look at the quatrain again. That both life and death will strengthen eastern Europe."Īccording to the author in his summary, this was a sure fire prophesy of Clinton's inevitable victory. Two failures will put her in such an imbalance.

She will annoy nearly all of Europe and the rest of the world. Quatrain 8/15 as mentioned above reads "The masculine woman will exert herself to the north. Here's an example of retroactive clairvoyance: This involves going back AFTER an event has occurred, and then matching it up with a quatrain or event. Not to the fault of the author, I have learned through research that Nostradamus's prophecies are usually (and disapointingly)calculated through a process known as retroactive clairvoyance. I also took note that he has revised this book twice since its release in 2006: once in 2010, and again in 2015 (the edition I have).

"I meant to write 2008, not 2028" for quatrain 8/28 (the financial crisis/recession). He also bragged about some of the others coming true, while even laying blame on himself for being off by a few years. Right away, I sensed that the author was already spinning excuses as to why some of the quatrains in the previous editions of this book were off.
