Falling Down and Getting Up: Discovering Your Inner Resilience and Strength by Mark Nepo

Mark Nepo considers how people respond to adversity and find the strength to begin again. Falling Down and Getting Up explores the choices between withdrawing and opening, merely surviving and engaging more fully with life.

Drawing on his work as a poet and teacher, Nepo reflects on renewal, connection and the balance between solitude and community. It is a contemplative personal-growth book about meeting difficulty, not a clinical treatment manual.
