The War of Art

In this brief, provocative volume, Steven Pressfield – author of Gates of Fire; Tides of War; and The Afghan Campaign – shares hard-earned lessons on recognizing and getting past self-sabotage – “Resistance,” he calls it. To overcome Resistance, he says, pursue creativity as a vocation, with discipline. Pressfield’s insights, no-nonsense approach and eclectic spirituality inform this stimulating guide to becoming your best creative self.

Resistance

God, Pressfield writes, created you with unique gifts, for a unique purpose. You have an inner genius, a “sacramental center.” The world needs the creative work that comes from that genius or soul.
