Got halfway thru the audio book before I had to return it to the library. Good inspiring book with a few great lightbulb moments for me. But it felt slow, and some ideas felt too long & winding, so I didn't feel like borrowing the book again to finish it.

Really lovely and soothing and genuinely helpful! I've seen so many reviews talking about how this book has far too many quotes in it, but I found the quotes made for a really thoughtful, meandering path through Dore's advice and experiences. I listened to this as an audiobook and really enjoyed dipping in and out of it based on the themed chapters, and would go back and get this as a physical copy to keep better track of the different strategies and suggestions. I found it a bit difficult at times when so many ideas had their caveats and that made listening to it at times frustrating, but that was mostly towards the start and when I got into the flow I could let myself enjoy things just being rather than being THE ANSWER. Liked it.

Such a delight - an absolute treasure trove of perspectives - there is so much here.

A great, insightful read. I loved the focus on creatives and activists and their own processes, and how much we can learn from each other. To accept imperfection and how everyone's plans can be flawed but that shouldn't mean we should stop our planning anyway.

Could only take so many of the same repeated observations about time that just felt like they came from someone whose idea of work is “working on their novel in a high rise apartment in Brisbane”.
