“An intriguing and laid-back framework for allowing yourself to improve… steadily avoids the soft-focus preachiness that so often mars titles like this.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“The encouraging self-help book The Inner Space Traveler suggests developing a regular practice of self-observation to move toward self-improvement. With applications of the book’s principles suggested throughout, it is a focused guide that encourages organic change through personal consciousness.”

“An Illuminating guide that makes you introspect while leaving you feeling empowered and motivated. Highly recommended.”
—Pikasho Deka, Readers’ Favorite ★★★★★
” Highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the inner journey that shapes every aspect of life. The Inner Space Traveler is a thoughtful and insightful read that will appeal to individuals interested in personal development, emotional healing, mindfulness, and consciousness studies. It offers an invitation to look inward, embrace self-awareness, and discover new possibilities for growth and transformation.”
—Midwest Book Review
“For readers whose spiritual practice of affirmations, breathwork, mantras, etc., or whose years of psychotherapy haven’t helped, The Inner Space Traveler will guide them to meet their unique consciousness which has “nothing to prove…nothing to defend…nothing to become…nothing to fix.”
—Blue Ink (Starred Review)
“Thoughtful guide to tapping into consciousness and awareness for transformative change. Hoefer uses concise, well-organized chapters to help readers grasp complex ideas, and the tone stays uplifting and free of judgment, gently explaining the trap of “doing” while outlining methods to cope with fear, challenging emotions, and not feeling “good enough.” Where the approach differs from similar titles is in its emphasis on awareness without judgment as the secret to growth: by impartially observing our attitudes, leading to change.”

“Eye-opening, thought-provoking, insightful, deep, mindful, and enlightening.”
—Evelyn Barton, Psychotherapist
“What really stayed with me is your idea that transformation comes not from adding more methods, but from removing the interference that blocks our natural evolution. That shift from doing to allowing awareness feels both confronting and deeply refreshing.”
—Sharon Auerbach, A Different Kind of Non-Fiction Book Club
“Hoefer’s discussions of consciousness motivated me to reconnect with teachings of The Third Karmapa, Ranjung Dorje, and the more current Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.”
