In a world full of distractions and self-doubt, “The War of Art” is a beacon of hope for anyone looking to tap into their creative potential.
With a sharp wit and a no-nonsense approach, Pressfield guides readers on a journey through the perils of Resistance, the force that keeps us from pursuing our dreams.
If you are an artist or a creative person, this book is meant for you.
I read this book for the first time almost a few years ago and since then this book has become an integral part of my life.
I must say, this book is a life-changing book. It has helped me a lot in my journey and I am certain that it will help you in your journey too.
The War of Art is an insightful and inspiring book that explores the internal struggles that artists, writers, and other creative professionals face.
In this book, Steven Pressfield presents the concept of “Resistance,” which he defines as an inner force that prevents us from doing the work we need to do.
Resistance takes many forms: it’s the voice in our head that tells us we’re not good enough, that we’ll never succeed, and that we should just give up.
It’s the fear of failure, the fear of success, and the fear of being vulnerable.
Pressfield argues that Resistance is the biggest obstacle to creativity, and that we need to overcome it if we want to do our best work.
He provides practical advice and strategies for overcoming Resistance, such as developing a regular routine, setting achievable goals, and treating your work like a professional job.
He also encourages us to view ourselves as professionals, regardless of whether we’re being paid for our creative work or not.
