Gives you shivers
Before reading this book, I set so many goals but failed to achieve even a single one of them. I felt worthless and powerless even though I was always ambitious. After reading this book, I got the culprit, it was my RESISTANCE, which always comes before your work and the only cure to it is ACTION.Literally this book changed my life for good and I hope who ever read this, his/her life also gets changed for good...

Nonsense "psychology" section but otherwise really good
If you're a creative or just generally a go-getter, then there's nothing in this book that you don't already know from your own experiences. However, it's still nice to have it all in one place. I found the book very helpful because it reminded me of all the important stuff I already know but which I forget to pay heed to in the chaos of my every days.About one fifth of the book was a little unreadable for me. It was the section where he talks about the self and the ego. I skimmed through those parts because they reeked of new-age speak which has never helped me and which I found very off-putting in what was otherwise an excellent and quick read.

It's not about art — But the art of overcoming laziness.
The paper quality is awesome. Highly recommended book, for anyone who wants to overcome laziness and be creative with work, studies, or thinking.

Pressfield is the author for the authors
I came to know about this book in a podcast hosted by mark manson (of the subtle art of not giving...) where he told he uses this book himself to clear his own writer's block and mitigate procrastination.This book is a shrink for writers who wants to start writing again ( or any work that they feel a resistance from within)Mark manson was not wrong. This book does the job. Paperback is the best buy, as the book is not a dense read. Hardcover can be avoided.

Just keep all the Self-help, Strategy books aside and READ this.
I know you wanna change. You wanna improve your self. You read all the classics in the self-help niche, all the success stories of the greatest personalities, and learn all the strategies.And you feel that HIGH once a book is finished, eager and enthusiastic to apply all the knowledge you've gained and to see some results.And the days go by... you slowly realize you're actually going nowhere, atleast not as much as you desire and expected.You know what to do, you know how to do, but you won't seem to be able to apply the knowledge in realtime. And it sucks, i know that feeling.And you slowly fall into the vicious circle.You slowly take some other book that you hope atleast will help with your problem.You pick a book.... you'll read... feels motivated.... days go by.... you realize.... it sucks... you start again( i hope)THIS IS WHERE "TheWARofART" is a LIFE SAVING BOOK.When you see that you're going nowhere even after knowing what to do. You'll slowly fall into the depressing thought process that may be YOU WILL NEVER BE THAT GUY YOU WANNA BE.In every self-help book that we read hardly anyone was able to put the problem we are facing in such a way like in WARofART, where it truly kicks in your ass and makes you aware of the RESISTANCE you're facing ever since you know your self.if you suck at taking ACTION about anything, and feeling how to do it. Just pick up this book and read it... take the book with you, when ever you're feeling of resistance or its disguised forms, read few pages from the book.I bet you wont be sitting there idle once you finish this true gem of a book.. but will go and do your long held unfinished, undared stuff.This is my first review ever since i'm puchasing books/anything from amazon. I thought of writing for some.. but you see RESISTANCE is a b***h. but now I did.It's all those simple actions that makes a difference in a long run. And WarOfArt will help you beat the RESISTANCE and take that ACTION.All the best. :)
