Steven Pressfield's The War of Art is a self-help book addressing the internal resistance that prevents individuals from pursuing their creative goals. The book is structured around three parts: defining Resistance, a destructive force hindering creative endeavors; turning professional, emphasizing discipline and commitment; and the higher realm, exploring the role of inspiration and unseen forces in creative work. Pressfield uses anecdotes and personal experiences to illustrate his points, arguing that consistent work, even in the face of self-doubt, is crucial for overcoming Resistance and achieving creative success. A foreword by Robert McKee offers a personal perspective on overcoming procrastination, a key manifestation of Resistance.
