Falling Upward

Falling Upward (2011) explores the “tasks” of the two halves of life. It explains that the second half of life isn’t about getting old; it’s about filling the “container” that we create during the first half and finding our purpose. 

• First-half lifers looking for insights
• People who’ve “fallen” and need comfort
• Second-half lifers seeking reassurance
