Book Summary of The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

Important note: This is not the original book, this is a book summary.

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.
