Matt Ross's Grow or Fold blends memoir and practical workbook to show how a midlife breakdown can become a breakthrough; he shares his journey from radio executive to founder of One River School following personal crisis at 50.
The book outlines frameworks Ross used—treating life like a business, creating a vision plan and defining 'your magic'—to stabilize personal life and launch mission-driven ventures.
He illustrates concepts with his own experience caring for a son with severe autism, running and scaling businesses, and choosing growth over folding.
Intended for readers at crossroads, it offers actionable exercises, mindset shifts, and examples to design a fulfilling second half of life.
The book emphasizes experimentation, iteration, and leveraging midlife self-awareness to start purposeful enterprises.
