The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
4.0
3.5
I was wary to read this because of the title. Does "Inner Creative Battles" sound stuffy and self-important to you too? Nevertheless, I decided to give it a chance.
Pressfield certainly got me thinking about my work and reflecting about my habits and posture towards my work. It reads quite quickly, but I intentionally spaced the reading out over a few days to let the ideas float around for a bit.
He uses metaphysical imagery to get his points across. Relatively lightly at first, but by the end, it's thick. I can't decide if it was distracting or helpful. In either case, it served to be an interesting reframing of ideas like inspiration, muses and work.
