The War of Art

Steven Pressfield

The most honest book ever written about why creative people self-sabotage.

“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.”

— Steven Pressfield

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

A ruthlessly honest analysis of creative resistance — the internal force that blocks every artist, writer, and entrepreneur from doing their best work — and how to defeat it.
