[close] The War of Art by Steven Pressfield is highly recommended by Joe Rogan and perhaps the most frequently mentioned book on the JRE Podcast. Rogan has been giving copies of the book to comedians, friends and podcast guests for years. The War of Art is about overcoming the obstacles to creativity which Pressfield calls ‘Resistance’. The book helps you identify these internal barriers to success, provides a plan to conquer Resistance and inspires you to get shit done. It’s the type of book you’ll want to highlight and bookmark to re-read specific sections.

Steven Pressfield was a guest on episode #405 of the podcast.

I've begun to pursue my photography as more of a job than a hobby in the last few months. I had issues with "resistance" and couldn't figure out what it was that prevented me from taking that step forward to "Turning pro". Reading this book really put a lot of things in perspective for me as well as gave me the knowledge I needed to push myself forward!

This will most definitely be a book that I come back to many times for inspiration! ...more

I don't really know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. While it does have some valid points most of it is just obscure and too strange to follow. ...more
