The War of Art

Steven Pressfield

There's an invisible force that rises whenever you try to do work that matters. Pressfield calls it Resistance. You beat it by treating your art like a job and showing up every single day.

A short, punchy manifesto naming the force that stops us from doing our creative and important work — "Resistance" — and prescribing the antidote: turning pro, showing up daily, and doing the work regardless of mood or inspiration.
