The War of Art By Steven Pressfield (Audiobook)
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.
