Review of 'The War of Art' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is the kind of book that can help solve you creative problems when you’re stuck in not being able to produce that work of art you are trying to.

Steven Pressfield provides you with a lot of ways to overcome your limitations, be they fear, bad habits, lousy excuses, low self-esteem, or whatever hold you back from doing what you have to do. For this is the book that does not teach you how to make the thing in itself, but how to overcome the major obstacle in getting this done: yourself.

With a lot of short chapters that cover pretty much everything you can think of as an excuse, being this a short book in itself, you can’t even try to excuse yourself from not reading it. Try it. It will be worthy.
