In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Franciscan Father Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we cannot 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. What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge.

Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation.

Gain a spiritual perspective on 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.

Readers of Rohr's previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.
