Neil Howe Biography

Neil Howe, best-selling author and national speaker, is a renowned authority on generations in America. He gives readers and audiences powerful insights into who today’s generation are, what motivates them as consumers and workers, and how they will shape our national future. He is a great choice for any forward-looking organization that wants to grasp the big picture. Howe’s broadly cyclical perspective—oriented around familiar generational life stories—will put “the long term” into a stunning yet personal focus that will not soon be forgotten.

A historian, economist, and demographer, Howe is a founding partner of the consulting firm LifeCourse Associates. He is a marketing, personnel, and government affairs consultant to corporate and nonprofit clients, and has spoken and written extensively on the collective personalities of today’s generations—who they are, what motivates them, and how they will shape America’s future. He is also a recognized authority on global aging, long-term fiscal policy, and migration. His current titles include: senior advisor to the Concord Coalition and senior associate to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.

Howe has co-authored several books on generations with William Strauss, all bestsellers widely used by businesses, colleges, government agencies, and political leaders of both parties. Together, they originally coined the term “Millennial Generation,” which their fifth book, Millennials Rising, most aptly illustrates. It has been widely quoted in the media for its insistence that today’s new crop of teens and kids are very different from Generation X and, on the whole, doing much better than most adults think. Howe’s work with Millennials in colleges and in the military was recently featured on 60 Minutes.
