Esther Yi: The Writers That Haunt Me: Esther Yi’s Bookshelf for 'Y/N' (0 comment)
I’m haunted by a handful of writers all long dead. They set the standard; naturally I fail. Anything I read of theirs promptly enters my bloodstream, whereupon mysterious internal fomentation proceeds. Y/N is simply the latest extrusion, a concerted one...

Synopsis

A succinct, engaging, and practical guide forsucceeding in any creative sphere, The War ofArt is nothing less than Sun-Tzu for the soul.

What keeps so many of us from doing what we long to do?

Why is there a naysayer within? How can we avoid theroadblocks of any creative endeavor-be it starting up a dreambusiness venture, writing a novel, or painting a masterpiece?

Bestselling novelist Steven Pressfield identifies the enemy thatevery one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer thisinternal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

The War of Art emphasizes the resolve needed to recognizeand overcome the obstacles of ambition and then effectivelyshows how to reach the highest level of creative discipline.

Think of it as tough love . . . for yourself.

Whether an artist, writer or business person, this simple, personal, and no-nonsense book will inspire you to seize thepotential of your life.

One of those books where I was jumping out of my seat going "yes, yes!" and folding down the corners of every page. A short but imperative read for creatives.

Scott Abrahamson , August 21, 2012
The most important "discretionary" projects in our lives share common traits among pioneers. One of them is the magnet that glues our butts to the chair while we wish we could get started. Many books on time management, planning, and organizing are valuable when you get started. What Pressfield does for us is to throw a cold pitcher of water in our face to ask, "are you going to sit on your butt or are you going to engage in a 'life worth living?'" His vehicle of describing "Resistance" as an entity that dogs all our trails is effective. Buy he book. Read the book. And let's hear those feet hit the floor.
