Here's a small gem from the first section of the book: And this resistance is manifested in all kinds of ways procrastination, criticizing others, fear, depression, and many others. Accomplishing your goals (creative, business, or otherwise) is a battle. In Book One: Resistance, Pressfield basically destroys ever reason you've ever rationalized for not getting something done. Book Three: Beyond Resistance – Higher Realm.Book Two: Combating Resistance – Turning Pro.Book One: Resistance – Defining the Enemy.What's hard is sitting down to write.” (I personally just replace “real writers” with “real entrepreneurs”, etc to apply business owners and creators in general). It's the kind of book that perhaps you would never pick up and become entranced by the story, but on the other hand it is the kind of book you could randomly pick up, read a paragraph, and feel a bit more motivated to pursue your endeavors.įor example, here's a quick couple of sentences from the beginning of the book to give you an idea of the type of book it is, “There's a secret that real writers know that wannabe writers don't, and the secret is this: It's not the writing part that's hard. Although Steven Pressfield does give some personal anecdotes about his own struggles with writing, odd jobs he's worked, and more. Overall, the book is more motivational as opposed to teaching any particular skill or even telling a story. So, while this book is primarily written by an author for other authors or creative people, I think it can help entrepreneurs and other do just what the subtitle says, “break through the blocks and win your inner creative battles. My younger brother, who has a couple of self-published books on Amazon, recommended that I check out the Steven Pressfield book. This book was such a quick read in fact, that I have now finished 2 books for the month of April! I'm on fire… This book is a quick read (165 short pages), and so made it easy for me to accomplish my goal of reading one book per month. I recently read the book, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.
