I was hoping for some exciting or new suggestions to help build creative practices or connect more with creativity/intuition, but this just felt like a long list of more of the same things that I’ve read in other self help books. Maybe my bar was too high, but I was expecting some more creative options for this list!

Hopkins poses some interesting questions in this book. Surely, the idea of living mindfully and fully, with wide, open and fresh spaces is wonderful.

There are fifty-nine small chapters, each one filled with learned wisdom, concluding with a page for jotting down thoughts and reflections. Not meant to be read from cover to cover, but can be if you are a very methodical person, you can simply select a heading that fits the moment under inspection.

How can such intriguing titles as The Many Shades of You, the very prosaic The Power of Soup or Sorting Through Your Garbage or even Life is a Wide-Open Stage fail to tease you into further investigation?

The Places Where There Are Spaces is an absolute gem and will be a ‘go to’ to help through those tough, frustrating and i
