If you are struggling to overcome the internal obstacles that are preventing you from turning your creative ideas into reality, you are not alone. I’ve been there more times than I care to admit, and so has Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art.

Resistance is the name Steven Pressfield gives to the inner enemy that is working night and day to keep us creative types from achieving our goals and reaching our full potential.
“Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. resistance is the enemy within.”
― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
Resistance: The Enemy Within
The War of Art is call to arms, the title itself playfully borrowed from the ancient Chinese war text by Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
