Where Are You Running?
Nine stories from the heart about the race we run — and what we are really looking for.
- Stories
- Presence
- Simplicity
- Joy
From morning to night and from youth to old age, most of us are running. First we run to meet the basic needs of food, shelter and comfort. Then we keep running toward goals that society hands us: more money, more status, more things. Dr. Warter has seen in his practice how this running can become an addiction. The constant pursuit of what we don't really need leaves people lonely, stressed and cut off from one another and from themselves.

About this book
Where Are You Running?
Where Are You Running? asks the questions underneath all that motion: Where is the joy? Where is the pleasure? Where is the life? Rather than answering with theory, Dr. Warter and his co-author Peter Economy answer with nine short stories from the heart. Each story is a small mirror in which readers can recognize their own rushing, and the quiet moment when it becomes possible to stop.
The stories draw on the themes Dr. Warter has taught for decades: presence over achievement, essence over image, and love as the ground of a meaningful life. They can be read in one sitting or slowly, one story at a time, as a pause in a busy day.
Published in 2020, this is a gentle book for anyone who senses there must be more to life than the next deadline, and who is ready to slow down long enough to find out what it is.
