"It's
a masterpiece of intelligence and ingenuity. I
think socionomics-grounded thinking will take the reader
over a whole new conceptual threshold in understanding
how human sociological and psychological processes are
embedded in the behavior of large-scale cultural and
natural phenomena." |

just read Prechter's "The Wave Principle of Human

is the most thought provoking book I have read in the
last five years. If you are a student of the markets or
politics, it’s a must read." |

| "Mr.
Prechter has raised some tantalizing possibilities toward
the goal of providing a theoretical framework for the
Elliott Wave Principle. In particular, the discussion
relating Fibonacci and Elliott wave theory to fractals
and chaos theory is both fascinating and persuasive." |

found the book exciting, provocative, and full of fresh
ideas. If and when the new age dawns...we will look at
Robert Prechter as a visionary." |

"I
thoroughly enjoyed The Wave Principle of Human Social
Behavior and The New Science of Socionomics. The
author’s attempt to tie together the various aspects
of human social activities was both fascinating and
useful." |

| "It
weaves the two helixes of psychology (popular valuation)
and growth (man's total production) into a single strand.
Over the years, you've applied the Wave Principle both
as a guide to the psychology of the marketplace and as
a description of economic growth. Here they
are unified." |

"With
The Wave Principle of Human Social Behavior and
the New Science of Socionomics, Prechter has moved
to a higher level on Elliott's work."
"There is a different Bob Prechter coming through
this book. You have graduated to a higher level of intellectual
pursuit and research." |

gives a new dimension and understanding to not only the
Elliott wave technique, but to all forms of human activity.
This is cutting edge stuff, certain to make you
rethink much of what you think you know." |

| "This
is the most interesting piece of work I've read, truth
or fiction, since Elliott Wave Principle and
At the Crest of the Tidal Wave. It occurs
to me that maybe the Wave Principle will be some type
of unifying principle for the sciences." |

| "I
have slowly read your new book, Socionomics.
It is wonderfully well researched, and carries your customary
élan in its writing. As the phrase goes, 'the proof of
the pudding is in the eating' (or something like that)
so if we do get the Elliott down wave we are expecting,
your book will be a triumph even to the littlest bears,
as well as over the ruthless fighting bulls such as Merrill,
et al." |

| "If
you are interested in these ideas, the best stuff out
on this is Robert Prechter's book, Socionomics and various
essays he has written over the past year at Elliott Wave
International in Gainesville, GA.
One Economics PhD
reviewer up in Canada commented that after he read the
book he considered it the most important thing he had
ever read.
Prechter has a radically
different view of cause and effect relative to the stock
market and believes that investor mass psychology not
only drives the markets, but creates the news, is wavelike
and is predictable IN ADVANCE. It's fascinating stuff,
well worth the investment of time and very readable.
It's very thought provoking and would give you grist
for several columns and a book review." |

"It
takes guts to let nature speak for herself. Now,
with much thanks to advances in physics, neurobiology
and evolutionary psychology, you have formally launched
an ambitious new science of sociology. This is
exciting stuff. I hope some science reviewer
from The New York Times devotes an article to this first
text on socionomics." |
John W. Gross
|
| "Another
amazing tome of wisdom — The Wave Principle of
Human Social Behavior and the New Science of Socionomics.
(Wonderful read, and I did not, as some reviewers proffered,
find the final chapters to be 'stretching it a bit!')
As someone who is extremely interested in how the brain
works and why we 'do what we do', as 'rational' human
beings, I found the discussion in chapter 8 of the triune
brain extremely compelling. It reminded me of much of
the work on brain function that was presented by Antonio
Damasio in Descartes' Error. Keep up the great
work and thank you for opening another door into our minds!." |

| "You
are an original thinker, and you have one of the finest
writing styles of anyone I've ever read. You do for socionomics
and financial analysis what Joe Sobran does for political
and moral commentary, and he's simply the best I've ever
read. You're in that group too." |

| Socionomics
is to the economics profession as a hurricane is to a
mansion on a bluff overlooking the ocean. That
is, it is just a matter of time. May you live log enough
to see it; at least to see it begin. |

|
| After
reviewing the chapters of your latest book, several times,
I am greatly impressed. You have eloquently articulated
what many have been debating for years - there is something
that drives individuals, society, and the universe. Wave
counts containing fractals and Fibonacci may well be one
way to 'read' and prepare for, our future. |
K.M.
|
| The
book is beautiful and I particularly like your chapters
in parts III-V on the herding behavior and the social
moods. |
D.S.
|
| I
thought that was WOW stuff that you presented (on Socionomics
topic at IFTA conference)....I think what you are doing
is the most creative work that I have seen in my career
on Wall Street....It appears you are just scratching the
surface on examining human behavior using technical tools.

| "Your
Wave Principle of Human Social Behavior is more
than just fascinating, more than just stimulating; it
is a treasure trove of ideas. I must also congratulate
your attempt to structure the Wave Principle with definitions
and on your exploratory mindset. It is most stimulating
and refreshing to read someone who is truly excited about
what he does know, but at the same time is not afraid
to admit and then speculate about what he has yet to know."
