The War of Art

Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
Jul 10, 2014danielestes rated this title 2 out of 5 stars
The way this book is written suggests that in an alternate history Steven Pressfield is a religious sect guru—he emotes like he's receiving divine direction—and The War of Art is the group's bible. Some say this is EXACTLY what being creative is all about. I say that's complete hokum. The War of Art is one huge, spiritually infused pep talk aimed at those struggling with writer's block, or painter's block, or whatever. The majority of us, and I'm including myself here, would do well to ignore all this sermonizing and return to the non-procrastinating business of being creative. And in a nutshell that means quit stalling, sit your butt down and get back to work.
