The beloved spiritual leader’s reflections—fifteen timeless habits for living with purpose, resilience, and joy.

In A Good Life, Pope Francis offers one of his most personal and enduring works—a wise, accessible, and deeply human guide to the daily habits that shaped his life and can transform yours. Drawn from a lifetime of spiritual leadership, this book presents fifteen essential practices that sustained him through decades of ministry, global crisis, and private trials.

This is not a list of abstract virtues or lofty theology. These are real, lived habits—things like gratitude, simplicity, mercy, connection, and spiritual attentiveness—that anyone can begin to adopt, no matter their background or beliefs. With signature humility and directness, Francis writes not from a pedestal, but from a place of shared humanity, inviting readers to rediscover the sacred in the ordinary.

Completed shortly before his passing, A Good Life is more than a book—it’s a legacy. It’s an offering from a man who lived what he taught, and who believed that joy and goodness are always possible, even in the hardest moments.

You’ll discover:
  • How to find joy in imperfection and beauty in brokenness
  • The importance of face-to-face connection in a digital world
  • A refreshing, practical path to living with integrity and hope
  • What it means to live each day as if it truly matters

This is Pope Francis at his most intimate and inspiring. A perfect gift for anyone searching for wisdom, stability, or a reset in a chaotic time.

Pope Francis--Jorge Mario Bergoglio--was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 17, 1936, the son of Italian immigrants. He was ordained a priest in the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1969 and created a bishop in 1992. He became Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was named a cardinal in 2001. In March 2013 he was elected Bishop of Rome, the 266th pope of the Catholic Church.

  • "Lucid lessons for a life of faith and fulfillment...the persistent encouragement to 'let yourself be loved by God for He loves you just as you are' rings true. Catholics will find hope and assurance in this uplifting guide."
