À propos de cet audio

In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions.

Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up". We grow spiritually more by doing it wrong than by doing it right, and the disappointments of life are actually stepping stones to the spiritual joys in the second half of life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[P]rovocative." ( Publishers Weekly)
"[A] trustworthy guide to the spiritual life." (BlogCritics.org)
"Understanding the spiritual aspects of aging is as important as appreciating the systems and biological processes that age us. Richard Rohr has given us a perfect guide to what he calls the 'further journey,' a voyage into the mystery mystery and beauty of healthy spiritual maturity." (Mehmet Oz, M.D., host of the Dr. Oz Show)

I was raised in a doomsday ‘first half of life’ religion. When I left at 40, I lost everything, including my family, who continue to shun me. At that time, I threw out my own spiritual baby with the proverbial bath water.
I have since rekindled a love of spirituality, though not in the confines of organized religion.
Richard Rohr has been among my guides on this journey, and this book is a gem. If you are not bible-y or religious, please still consider the information. It is so inclusive of different belief systems, showing that the message of falling upward is universal and necessary for all.
Enjoy. Peace and Love.

A very timely book for where I find myself in life’s journey! I’ve listen to it twice now and got more from it the 2nd time round I think. Well worth your time…

Thought Provoking

This is one of the few profoundly wise and real books available. Richard Roar answers the questions we have, entering our 60’s, of why life looks as it does at this stage of the journey. I’m grateful for the insights and the outlook ahead.

Grateful for the teaching

Beautifully written, “Falling Upward” guides the reader into a clearer appreciation of the fathomless pools of grace available to those who simply pause to explore them.

A beacon of encouragement for the ageing mystic

Such wisdom does not show itself so bare and true as Falling Upward. Thank you from the bottom ofmy heart.

The first of many listens…

Really liked the concepts in this book and the references to the bible. I saw RR on Oprah initially which led me to this book. #Audible1

Really great all around, fantastic message especially for those going through the transition to the second half of life... who feel like they are in free fall! I could have done with less “Jesus” speak and will take the less religious folks perhaps some broad horizons to hear the deeper message and receive the gifts of this book.

A bit less Jesus please

I’m so glad I found this book at the beginning of the second half of my life. I need to read it twice!

Just the inspiration I needed
