An update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard RohrIn the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers 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." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging.

Why is it that when a mid-level employee makes a mistake, they are immediately fired and lose their livelihood, but when a CEO drives a multi-billion-dollar corporation into total bankruptcy, they are terminated with a guaranteed fifty-million-dollar severance package? This infuriating paradox is fueled by the corporate legal structure of the "e;Golden Parachute."e;Originally designed in the 1970s to protect executives in the event of a hostile takeover, these lucrative contractual clauses have violently mutated into a shield against executive incompetence. Corporate boards, heavily stacked with friends and fellow CEOs, quietly approve contracts that guarantee massive payouts, stock options, and lifelong benefits even if the leader is fired "e;for cause."e; Consequently, the modern executive operates in a completely consequence-free environment: if the company succeeds, they become billionaires; if they completely destroy it, they still walk away with generational wealth, leaving the shareholders and employees to absorb the ruins. This rigorous financial critique deconstructs the architecture of boardroom greed. It explores the most egregious severance payouts in corporate history, the psychological erosion of executive accountability, and the rising tide of shareholder activism attempting to close these legal loopholes. Stop rewarding destruction. The Golden Parachute Epidemic exposes the ultimate flaw in modern corporate capitalism: a system that has entirely insulated its elite from the terrifying reality of failure.
