"An exquisitely wise book about what a human life is, and how best to live it. Where Are You offers inspiration, insight and guidance, and left me a changed, and maybe even better, person."
—Noah Efron, Founding Chair of the interdisciplinary program on Science, Technology, and Society at Bar Ilan University
"Rabbi Dan Ehrenkrantz's marvelous book Where Are You? is an affable and illuminating guide to the secrets of the self."
—Pir Zia Inayat Khan, president of the Inayati order of Sufism
"The title of Rabbi Ehrenkrantz's new work, Where Are You? A Beginner's Guide to Advanced Spirituality, is both surprising and accurate. In a highly accessible, brief text, the reader receives a generous topographical survey of our inner human landscape of both meaning making and mortal dread as these can be focused by the lenses of sacred texts—centrally and beautifully chosen from Judaica but with insights from Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. A literate compassionate excursion guided by a humble, intelligent teacher whose passion encourages our "faltering impulse to travel toward rare but accessible freedom.
—The Reverend Janet M. Cooper Nelson, Chaplain, Brown University
"Where Are You? offers incredible clarity with well-organized insights and ideas. It draws us towards experience and the importance of the heart. This is a powerful and practical guide to a true and deeply spiritual life."
—Jonathan Ellerby PhD, bestselling author of Return to the Sacred
"Dan Ehrenkrantz's Where Are You? A Beginner's Guide to Advanced Spirituality is exactly what it says it is: a book (blessedly short and digestible) that helps people seeking greater spiritual awareness in their lives know where to begin. Ehrenkrantz does not pretend to be a guru, just someone who has come to some very helpful realizations in his life, and is able and willing to share them. With very little jargon, and in easy-to-read flowing prose, he prods the reader with insights and questions to take the inner steps towards answering some of the big questions of existence. There are many throughout the book—about ego, God, relationships, the universe, compassion—my favorite being: `How can freedom and belonging become the truth of our lived experience?' The book skillfully references teachings and examples from faith traditions, but is not overly beholden to any one, and so is equally accessible to all seekers/readers. This book enters a crowded field of books of teachings and guides to practice—this is among the best that I've read. Give yourself a gift, check it out, and sit with its teachings, letting them percolate into your life."
