#Art & Drawing

Stephen Pressfield's 'The War of Art' explores the internal obstacles to creativity and how to overcome them. He identifies 'Resistance' as the primary enemy—a universal, self-sabotaging force that prevents us from doing our work. The book outlines a shift from the 'amateur' mindset to the 'professional' one, emphasizing discipline, humility, and persistence. Finally, it delves into the spiritual dimension of art, defining how the 'Self' accesses a higher realm of inspiration via Muses and angels. Ultimately, Pressfield argues that fulfilling our creative calling is a gift to the world.
