About this audiobook
Today, almost every nation-on-earth is teetering on the brink of a societal meltdown as it finds itself in the midst of a sociopolitical upheaval, the like of which has not hitherto been witnessed in our lifetime.
Yet, hardly anyone realizes that like a winter that returns every year, such a concerted turmoil across the globe is also periodic due to what I have dubbed the "oqual cycle".
On the basis of scientific reasoning and mathematical modeling of history over the past 600 years, the oqual cycle posits that human civilization seemingly undergoes a sweeping global reset once every 84 years on average in order to purge itself of a plethora of wrongdoings from the societal ills through excesses and imbalances to transgressions amassed over that multidecadal period.
Unfortunately, there is no free music as one must pay the piper.
Indeed, such a societal reboot (or revitalization) is typically accomplished through a global conflict with the potential to not only wreak havoc but also strike fear into the hearts and minds of people on an apocalyptic scale so that they can put their sociopolitical differences aside and come together for the common good of the world at large.
The oqual cycle therefore lends human society a subtle albeit deadly mechanism to break ties with its dysfunctional past in order to begin anew rather than being held hostage from moving forward under its own weight, or even worse, continue down the rabbit hole in perpetuity with the potential for self-destruction.
Taken together, Summary of The Oqual Cycle is a must-read for everyone in that it will not only dramatically transform your perspective on how you view the world but it will also become your best companion to guide you as you navigate the dire fallout from the ongoing sociopolitical upheaval around much of the globe over the next decade or so.

Few are awarded the Nobel Prize. Even fewer earn a place in history. Hardly anyone becomes immortal through their legacy and impact on human society. Professor Farooq has indeed etched his place in immortality through his discovery of an earth-shattering phenomenon central to making sense of trials and triumphs of our society though, like all paradigm-shifting discoveries from terraspherism to heliocentrism, it may take centuries before the significance of oquacyclism (or the theory of oqual cycle) finally dawns upon our society. "While humans may be quick to adopt new technologies, they are however notoriously slow and lackadaisical when it comes to upgrading their knowledge of the physical world due to their deeply-ingrained herd mentality", Professor Farooq laments.
