The War of Art
Categories: Self-Help
What keeps so many of us from doing the work we long to do, whether that's writing a novel, starting a business, or painting? Novelist Steven Pressfield gives that inner enemy a name, Resistance, and lays out a battle plan for beating it. Short and blunt, the book is tough love for anyone with creative ambitions. His cure is discipline: show up and do the work every day, whether you're an artist, a writer, or in business.

- Shane Parrish: “After my post Anne Lamott: Some Instructions on Writing and Life a voracious reader and best-selling author sent me a note on Lamott’s book telling me that it’s full of terrible advice.”
