ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield explores the essential journey from amateur to professional in any endeavor. It identifies the internal opposition, termed "Resistance," that hinders us from our life's true work. The book dissects the traits of amateur behavior, such as addiction and avoidance, and contrasts them with the dedication and discipline of a professional. Pressfield provides a practical approach to conquering self-doubt and embracing the challenges necessary to master one's craft and realize one's potential. This transformation leads to a more purposeful and empowered existence.
