The War of Art
- Narrated by: Steven Pressfield
Think of The War of Art as tough love… for yourself.
Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat “resistance”; to recognize and break down the barriers that block our dreams and silence the naysayers within us. Resistance motivates people, and the desire to defeat it is equally common. The Art of War identifies the enemy that each of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal enemy, thereby showing how to achieve the greatest success.
Although it was written for writers, it has been embraced by entrepreneurs, actors, dancers, painters, photographers, filmmakers, military personnel and thousands of others around the world.
The book was short and I read it in three or four hours. And it has had a very positive impact on me. Time will tell if that impact lasts long enough or I’m just benefiting from the effects of novelty and recentness. But I think there’s something powerful about spiritualizing your own procrastination as an external entity (Resistance) and personalizing it. By treating it like a bully that annoys you and celebrates your failures, it will be more approachable. It will be easier for you to get out of it the same way you would with annoying people. It turns into an outside thing that you will struggle with, instead of a part of you that you will resent.
Granted, the author is a religious man – and he makes it clear. But it doesn’t take much effort to realize that there are some fundamental aspects underlying his rituals: it’s all about the habit of putting himself in a favorable position for work. The book Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, by Mason Currey, has many other famous examples that follow those same lines.
