Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self

2013

Building on the Jungian and Christian mystical traditions, Rohr distinguishes between the False Self — the persona constructed by ego, wound, and social role — and the True Self, the indestructible core of identity that cannot be earned, lost, or destroyed. This distinction is one of the most practically useful frameworks in contemporary spirituality. For men doing inner work, especially those moving through midlife, the question of who they really are beneath the roles they have performed is often the central question. Rohr argues that the work of the second half of life is the slow recovery of the True Self that was there all along. The book is challenging, warm, and deeply grounded.
