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.

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

review

music is little loud and long than needed
explaining point too briefly without examples pretty ambiguous to reap the meaning and don't have too much knowledge about religions
but good observation of resistance. listening to this guy seems he a toxic person and looks as if he is roasting someone.

It will reduce you to tears; Tears of SELF

I knew what an inner calling is... but only experienced it while I was hearing this book out. I always thought realization is a form of luck which just happens to few chosen ones. But it's from those very chosen ones you reckon it is a book like this which acts as a fuel EVERYDAY.
It is for those who always felt an uncomfortable, unexplainable mental guilt they ever wanted to overcome.

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...

This book has changed my life

Crip and neat.. I have read it about 6 to 7 times till date. This is one of my top 10 books of all time.
Resistance is real and it make so easy (so i thought ) to compartmentalize it and counter it. I believe everyone can 'counter-resistance', if they choose to. And this book all about doing just that.
Please buy this book! Pls! 👍🏻
