Publisher's summary

In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help listeners come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can't understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life.

Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation.

- Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life

- Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering"

- Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right"

- Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life.

Sacred Container

Richard Rohr's description of needing a container… Something that holds you not just mechanically but with warmth and embodied support before going onto the second half of life is impeccable.

A wisdom classic

I first read this about 10 years ago. Recently, God brought it back to my mind and I listened again. I am in a transition to the second half of life and this book is such an anchor. I didn’t really understand then, but now it’s like he is writing my experience and helping me to know that I am on track in my spiritual journey. Wonderful, I highly recommend.
