Summary of The War of Art: by Steven Pressfield - A Comprehensive Summary
()
About this ebook
Why do so many people struggle to pursue what they long to do? Why are good intentions for beginning artistic endeavors often met with procrastination and self-sabotage that leaves the would-be artist discouraged and resentful of their innate urge to create? In The War of Art, Steven Pressfield explores the reasons why so many people fail to live up to their creative potential and explains what changes they need to make to achieve different results.
Within this succinct and practical guide, Pressfield expresses his ideas in chapters as short as a few sentences that leave the reader with a deeper understanding of the inner demons they must fight off in order to create. Calling this force “Resistance,” Pressfield explores in minute detail the ways that it can derail the creator from their best intentions and prevent their work from being actualized.
By digging into his own personal battles overcoming the demon of Resistance, Pressfield offers encouragement to the fledgling artist that hopes to create but struggles to find the way forward within them.
No matter your calling in life, this simple book will give you pause and force you to reflect on your own life's goals and what stands in the way of you achieving them.
