If You’re Creative, Read The War of Art
In this post, we explore “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield.
Are you struggling to get your creative work done?
Do you sit down to do your work, only to get distracted five seconds later?
Do you want to write the most amazing book of all time but can’t find the time?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to read this book! The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield, is easy to read, yet hard to put down. Pressfield describes our human relationship with resistance and all the ways in which this sneaky intruder enters into our lives. This is especially true when we are about to make big strides toward a goal.
He describes resistance as, “that destructive force inside human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough, long-term course of action that might do for us or others something that is actually good.”
This book is a gem, and if you are a person who wants to be creative and is struggling, reading The War of Art will give you insight into that elusive thing we call the ego. Pressfield’s tough love approach is enough to light a fire under our butts and help us get creating.
