The War of Art (Unabridged‪)‬

RESSENYA DE L’APPLE BOOKS

Whether your passion is writing, painting, or any other creative pursuit, Steven Pressfield is about to light the proverbial fire under your butt. With his straightforward motivational guide, the author of The Legend of Bagger Vance distills the artist’s struggle to one brilliantly simple principle: Resistance. Resistance is the force that keeps you too bogged down with fears that you aren’t good enough, too stuck waiting for “inspiration” to strike, or too distracted by an email or a show to sit down and actually do your art. Pressfield, a former marine, reads his audiobook with a drill sergeant’s precision, which is perfect for his no-nonsense, to-the-point advice. He reminds us that greats from William Shakespeare to Henry Fonda faced this same self-doubt and procrastination—and that their success came from overcoming resistance and working on their craft every single day. The War of Art had us ready to put the pedal to the creative metal even before we were done listening.
