    About

    Is there something you know you truly need to be doing in your life—but aren’t? …Like, say, starting a business, changing careers, writing that book? What’s holding you back? Is it because you’re afraid? Is it because you’re rationalizing? Is it because you keep procrastinating? Whatever it is, if you’ve ever had a pressing feeling that you’re not doing your life’s work — then Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art” is for you. In this book summary, we’ll dive into some of Pressfield’s powerful calls to action for anyone (artists/entrepreneurs/creatives) who’s got a creative craving they’ve left unsatisfied for too long. It’s time to break through your creative blocks and win your inner creative battles. Let’s dive in.


    Crucial quote

    “Creative work is…a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.”


    Tweetable summary

    Don’t let yourself succumb to a life of regret and quiet desperation. Do the work you were meant to do + unleash your greatest potential.

      Very insightful and motivational. Summary is short enough to listen to everyday which one should do until every idea is tattooed in one's brain. These are words to live by.

      Listened to the writer on JRE, had to come and listen to this book. Just finished chapter 1. Useful stuff.

    • 5/5
      i loved the down to earth practicality in this summary.
    • 3/5
      I love how short and right to the point this book is! One car drive is enough for you to listen to all of it! I only gave it 3 stars because, for me personally, I don't find it life changing or that eye opening as I found other self-developpement books to be!
      I TOTALLY recommend it though for a morning audiobook!
    • 5/5
      It's just simple to do but its the hardest for us human to follow due to hesitation leading to procrastination. In short, find the one thing/s you love most to do, like a feeling that you found your own territory, the own it utterly.
    • 4/5
      Great book about getting your project done on time. Wonderful insights
    • 4/5
      This book is nice. It talks about procrastination and how u can end it.
    • 5/5
      There are no trix, no short cuts, you only cut the person you could become, it's just learn to do things you can't, and after many months your art will become you.
