Read it and know what I mean.
Fight resistance.
Nuff said.”
“An examination of the internal obstacles to success. The reasons we procrastinate and what we can do to just get over it and express our creativity fearlessly.”

This is as good as any assessment I could have written and a perfect summation of my feeling on this book. Each of Pressfield's ideas was clearly presented for the reader, and his drawing on examples from his own struggles as a writer complimented his ideas well. This is a book I will reference regularly, and whose ideas I will incorporate into many different aspects of my life. Well done. ”

“This book has page after page of observations about the biggest thing that keeps us from pursuing a creative life: resistance. Pressfield defines resistance and then shares tactics that have helped him defeat it. I try to read a page a day from this book as a way to help keep up my morale and to help beat the demon Resistance. ”

Stays with you and can help you get stuff done”
“What i liked in this book was about the indepth analysis about "resistance" in our Life, the write about the "Muses & Angels" is just what i always realistically keep thinking about.. "Eternity is in love with the creation of Time" is a perfect recipe for my poetic mind.. & "Chaos itself is self organising" is a terrrifc observation...

Overall a good book which will certainly make you reflect on some or the other aspect of your Life.”
“If you've ever had a desire to do something like write a book, start your own business, paint a picture, become a photographer... read this book. Read this book especially if you've had a desire to do any of those things, but have found a myriad of excuses not to do them. It's a very quick read and will serve as good inspiration to put aside your excuses and get moving.”

“Except for the weird stuff about a third of the way through this book, i really enjoyed this quick read. If you're in a creative field and finding yourself pissed off at all the politics that go on with in said field, read this and be prepared to quit your job.”
