Falling Down and Growing Up: A Guide for the Ages
What if falling down wasn't a setback—but the beginning of becoming?

Falling Down and Growing Up is not a manual for avoiding life's missteps. It's an invitation to see them differently: not as wrong turns or wasted time, but as essential passages in the lifelong unfolding of who we are.

Christopher Graham guides readers through the seasons of life—from the raw trust of babyhood to the playful chaos of youth, the striving of adulthood, and the soulful return of elderhood. With a voice that is at once wise, witty, and warmly human, he shows us that every stumble, every surrender, every surprise detour is not an interruption to growth—it is the path of growth.

What You'll Rediscover in These Pages

How aging reveals our essence, not just our years—and why each stage strips away what's false, leaving something truer behind.

Why the body is a sacred teacher—a living text of resilience, limitation, and grace.

The power of presence over perfection—because showing up fully matters more than getting it "right."

How mindlessness (yes, mindlessness!) can be a hidden form of grace—freeing us from the tyranny of constant self-improvement.

This is not a book that tells you to fix yourself, strive harder, or hold it all together. It is a book that lets you breathe, laugh, and recognize that growth does not end with youth—it deepens with every stumble. Falling down becomes less about failure, more about rhythm; less about shame, more about learning to rise with perspective, humor, and heart.

Whether you are climbing with ambition, coasting in midlife, or catching your breath in transition, Falling Down and Growing Up reminds you: life's messiness is not the problem. It is the dance. And every fall, every rise, is part of becoming fully, beautifully human.

About the Author

Christopher Graham is Canada’s resident mind-bender—an author, certified hypnotherapist, and metaphysical guide who blends ancient Hermetic wisdom, therapeutic know-how, and just enough mischief to keep you hooked.

Armed with degrees from the University of Sedona and the University of Metaphysics (yes, really), he founded Canadian Hypnotherapy Metaphysics Spirituality to help curious souls ditch autopilot and start living consciously.

He’s best known for his ambitious Reading Life Backward saga—In the Beginning; 2024: Calling Everything into Question; 2025: Connecting the Dots; Full Circle 2012–2025; and the forthcoming 12 Steps: Hero’s Mystical Journey—a cosmic puzzle that reframes life’s timeline in reverse.

Beyond that, his bookshelf is a trip in itself:
• The Art of Transformation — because personal growth deserves its own masterpiece
• TOP 100 Things Teenagers (Everyone) Should Know — the life advice nobody gave you
• Guardrails of the Soul — spiritual seatbelts for life’s wild ride
• Forsake Me Not — a love letter to the parts of us we’re tempted to abandon
• Falling Down and Growing Up — the beautiful chaos of becoming yourself
• Don’t Look Too Close – A Psych-thriller
• HERMETICISM - Ancient Wisdom for WTF Generation

Whether you’re a skeptic demanding proof, a seeker chasing truth, or just someone who clicked “look inside” by accident, Christopher’s writing is that rare blend of “aha!” insight and “ha!” humor—an invitation to laugh, learn, and maybe even levitate (results not guaranteed, but strongly encouraged).
