Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.

Why It's Lindy

The most honest book ever written about why creative people self-sabotage. "Resistance" is Pressfield's name for the force that keeps talented people from doing their work — and naming it is the first step to beating it. Has sold millions of copies through pure word of mouth.

About This Volume
