The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

The War of Art is one of those books that hits you right where you need it. It’s a sharp, no-fluff look at why we avoid doing the work that really matters to us; whether that’s writing, painting, starting new course, or anything creative.Pressfield introduces this idea of “Resistance”that inner force that shows up every time we try to step into something meaningful. He doesn’t sugarcoat it; Resistance is real, and it’s brutal. But he also gives a clear path to fighting it: you show up, you do the work, like a professional.The book is broken into three parts:1. What Resistance is and how it works.2. How to beat it by committing fully.3. How creativity connects to something bigger than us.It’s super easy to read, short chapters, direct language, and full of lines that stick with you. Some parts feel almost spiritual, but in a grounded, motivating way.Why I loved it:It doesn’t try to “inspire” you- it challenges you. It called me out on every excuse I’ve ever made and reminded me that doing the work isn’t about being in the mood or feeling ready. It’s about showing up.If you’re stuck, procrastinating, or constantly doubting yourself creatively- read this. It’s a kick in the soul in the best possible way.

Everything is good the paper quality, the cover all ofit isgood .

Great read with philosophy

Before reading this book, I set so many goals but failed to achieve even a single one of them. I felt worthless and powerless even though I was always ambitious. After reading this book, I got the culprit, it was my RESISTANCE, which always comes before your work and the only cure to it is ACTION.Literally this book changed my life for good and I hope who ever read this, his/her life also gets changed for good...

Would have rated the book 4 stars as the book has vital information about improving one's life but the author probably directed by publisher or may be not decided to use 'she', 'her' and 'herself' throughout the book. It got annoying and off-putting beyond a point that it became hard to relate to what the author was saying.If the author and the publisher really wanted to put feminism and glorify women in the book then all the examples used should have been all related to women, why just limit to just very few? Ironically almost all examples are related to male artists and male professionals including from author's personal life and acquaintances.In many books at least there will be a disclaimer at the very front or at the first time mentioning of 'he' that it represents both the genders but neither the author nor the publisher cared to call this out and assumed the forceful usage of 'she', 'her' and 'herself' will be swallowed by men.The author could have used 'one, oneself' or 'they, them, themselves'.

The paper quality is awesome. Highly recommended book, for anyone who wants to overcome laziness and be creative with work, studies, or thinking.

If you're a creative or just generally a go-getter, then there's nothing in this book that you don't already know from your own experiences. However, it's still nice to have it all in one place. I found the book very helpful because it reminded me of all the important stuff I already know but which I forget to pay heed to in the chaos of my every days.About one fifth of the book was a little unreadable for me. It was the section where he talks about the self and the ego. I skimmed through those parts because they reeked of new-age speak which has never helped me and which I found very off-putting in what was otherwise an excellent and quick read.

OMG the page quality ❤️❤️❤️❤️super just buy this
