Keep Getting Up: Hard-won wisdom for resilience, recovery, and starting over

By David Miller

David Miller has been on the floor three times in ways that should have ended things. A gas well fire in 1986 that burned over eighty percent of his body. A stroke in 2012 that left him unable to finish a sentence. An aortic dissection in 2023 that his medical team described as nearly unsurvivable. In between, seven years of a failing business and the long grinding work of rebuilding from nothing.

He is still here.

Keep Getting Up is not a motivational book. It is a field guide for people who are genuinely down and not sure they have what it takes to get back up. Written from the inside of real suffering, tested under conditions most people will never face, and grounded in forty years of faith, it offers ten practical tools for surviving crisis and rebuilding what remains.

For anyone in their forties, fifties, sixties or beyond who is looking at a serious crisis and wondering whether they have enough left - this book was written with you specifically in mind. Not because resilience works differently in the second half of life. Because the stakes are higher, the questions are harder, and the wisdom you bring to the work is greater than you may currently believe.

The floor is not the destination. Keep getting up.
