Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focussed and calm in a constantly busy world. This quality, valued by every major school of thought from Buddha to Seneca, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, is urgently necessary today. And, Holiday shows, it is entirely attainable.

What followed was the darkest moment of his life - detailed in this book for the first time - in which he came within seconds of ending everything.

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

We all need reminding
I have returned to this book again and been delightfully reminded that the effort to make change is huge but worth it. No one that attempts anything worthwhile achieved it without the constant battle between that which you want to bring to the world and the internal resistance to stay small.

Good Information
Read Pressfield's 'The War of Art' first; this book is a good follow-up to that.
'The War of Art' delineates the enemy of creative work as internal Resistance; it defines Resistance's various incarnations (procrastinating, creating drama, keeping busy with less-important tasks, etc.), and points the way toward defeating Resistance by "turning pro".
'Do the Work' moves on from there to give more detailed instructions and advice on how to overcome Resistance. This includes the counterintuitive admonition to:
"Stay stupid": Ignorance & arrogance are the artist’s & entrepreneur’s indispensible allies. Be clueless enough not to know how difficult the project will be, & cocky enough to believe you can pull it off anyway.
"Begin before you're ready". Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it now.
Don’t over-think, over-prepare, or let research become resistance.
Begin at the finish: Figure out where you want to go, then work backwards from there.
This book has many other gems, such as the Seven Principles of Resistance, the Two Tests of Resistance, the inevitability of the Big Crash (the 'wall' you'll hit when everything seems to be going well) and the two axioms to keep in mind while working through it.
Will 'Do the Work' revolutionize your life or your creative work? Maybe not. But it's great inspiration and a new way of looking at the problem of making art, and for that it's definitely worth it.

There are many memorable moments that I could detail, but that would take too long.

CliffsNotes for The War of Art
I love Pressfield's The War of Art, and what you get here is the outline of that original and nothing more. There's nothing new here, and nothing worth the cost of purchase. It feels like a bit of sleight of hand, a new twist to squeeze juice from the rind. Or more appropriately, money from your pocket. It's not like it's simplifying a complex, difficult, or even lengthy read. The War of Art is less than three hours, utterly accessible, and worth every minute. This is just a scam, a rewrite of that title using nothing but delete. If you haven't read it already, invest your money in The Art of War. It's worth every minute and every penny. And if you have read it, don't waste your time or money here. You've already got everything Pressfield appears to have to say on this subject. Reread it. It's still worth it, even the second time. I give this title three stars only because the original information is still valuable. But I genuinely resent having paid for that information twice.

5 Stars for "Do the Work"
"Do the Work" was well worth my time and money. Though Pressfield is a book and movie writer many of his personal apt personal examples of finishing an idea, book, script, etc are applicable to just about anyone taking on any big challenge. I am a PhD student, nearing the finish line and just hit my 'wall', struggeling to get past some difficult courses, and this book was a heavens send. Again, many take-a-ways especially for any writer but valueable for anyone else who is jumping out on faith and following a dream or idea.

Short ... simple ... amusing and to the point ... it's a very good listen for those who need to start writing or begin with any project ... funny at times ... but inspiring always ... worth your time and money

To the point
Concise and to the point.
Having succeeded a few times with projects in life I can relate to the content.
Now I spend too much time researching, procrastinating and pleasing others.
Back to what works.

Hit's the nail on the head!
Would you listen to Do the Work again? Why?
I've already listened to this book twice and will no doubt listen to over and over again. It's short, easy to digest and gets straight ti the point.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the fact that Seven has clearly 'been there done' that so found it really easy to relate to.
What does Steven Pressfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Stevens sincerity shines through and as such I found it to be a really positive experience, not just another audio book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I did.
Any additional comments?
An excellent piece of motivational material. 5 stars!!

Great, short, kick up the butt
Love Pressfields previous books and whilst this is short it's straight to the point and not only motivates you, but makes yiu realise the small. Things and thoughts that often question your logic, make you procrastnate or just stall you from stalling, doing and knowing what's next..... Will. Keep on phone as a reminder!

Punchy and Powerful
Pressfield doesn't mince his words - he sears them quickly over a blowtorch and lays them, charred and bloody on your plate.
If you want to think about doing something, read someone else. If you want to actually achieve something, read Pressfield.

If you're procrastinating, this is for you!
I'm about to launch a YouTube channel. For a month I was all fired up, nothing and no one could stop my momentum. Then I hit a wall. Resistance. Steven explains the creative process and the resistance you go through so brilliantly in this book, you'll wish you found it years ago. And he's wonderful to listen to!

great book by a brilliant writer
Always inspirational, Steven Pressfield is one of those writers where you know no matter what it is you are going to take away something that will change your life. This is no different, I would recommend it to everyone.

Value - if you dare
This is a simple straight forward book.
I valued the open approach that Steven takes with his work and the vulnerability he displays in admitting his own mistakes.
The ideas and learnings I found were valuable. I recommend this book.
Try it
