Aside from being a businessman, he has spread his ideas through his numerous books. And probably you don't get to have that many books published unless you do the actual work, unless you go all the way to the end and deliver. Over and over and over.

Which specific parts of "The War of Art" does this build upon? Part 1 / 2 / 3? I have listened to the audiobook a couple of dozen times - I love the parts on defiining Resistance (1) / Combating resistance by turning pro (2) but I simply skip the third part on "Beyond Resistance" If this book is about part 2 or 1 - I would love to buy it, if its part 3 - I would want to skip it. Thanks in advance
