The War of Art
3 people have this book on the record — 2 of 3 verdicts positive. The dissent stays on the page.
An interesting idea with good potential — resistance as a somewhat material force that manifests itself as procrastination and other phenomena — leading to nowhere. This book was so promising in the beginning, and utterly underwhelming throughout.

Before I start any book project, I take a few hours and re-read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, maybe the greatest book ever written on the creative process.

Have you experienced a vision of the person you might become, the work you could accomplish, the realized being you were meant to be? Are you a writer who doesn’t write, a painter who doesn’t paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what “Resistance” is. This book is about that. Read it.
