Publisher's Summary

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 knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

Though it was written for writers, it has been embraced by business entrepreneurs, actors, dancers, painters, photographers, filmmakers, military service members, and thousands of others around the world.

Brilliant

This is absolutely mind blowing. It’s short, to the point and engaging. To say nothing of the inspiration it’ll trigger…

Narration could have been better

Some contents can be questionable such as quoting ADD, S.A.D as not essentially disorders but products of marketing(copywriters) is a little extreme but most other parts does make sense. Wonder what is the reason of such a jet speed when most audience won’t be able to understand

90 mins of worth learning, rest was emphasis

I felt 90 mins of worth learning, rest was emphasis..Nicely structured but stories or references could have been better with more research...

Mindless parade of unsupported poppycock

The writer places himself in a self-anointed entitled pedestal passing down what he believes to be ornate pearls of wisdom which in turn is just generalised immature commentary based on his limited interaction with a handful of mediocre creatives he has around him and one day’s worth of loose and lazy research. Hard pass!

Companion to fight Resistance and inner demons

This is a book for keeps and listen whenever Resistance strikes. But a great audio has been ruined by adding the music in the background, This is a book for deep thinking, meditation - not a suspense thriller!

I wish there were a version,just wtth with the author's voice.

Exactly what you need to hear

Precise commentary on living life of purpose. It's a quintessential guide to be the Man
