The War of Art (by Steven Pressfield)

"The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield explores the internal struggle faced by creative individuals, which he terms "Resistance." This Resistance is a force of procrastination, doubt, and fear that prevents people from pursuing their passions or completing their projects. Pressfield emphasizes that overcoming Resistance requires disciplined effort, professionalism, and persistence. He advocates treating creative work like a calling, showing up daily, and pushing through discomfort. The book highlights that success comes from consistently confronting and defeating this inner opposition, allowing one’s true creative potential to emerge.
