It's that time again to revisit the war of art. Every year it rolls around and always always always is the same. Comforting, inspiring, necessary. Thankyou for uploading the audio version!
I was given this book in 2008 by my business partner at that time. I never really read it, just kind of skimmed through it a number of times.... Shmm. I'll listen to it now though. : )
A shorter way to say all this is just this: discipline. Get your ass to work. Quit screwing around and go to work. Just start. All the hooey about angels is just that. Picasso put it more succinctly: "I believe in inspiration but it must find you working."
Easier said than done. The author certainly would not agree with your statement. There IS no short cut. He's helping us. Simply saying, "Get off your ass" will not work for the vast majority of people.
this may sound irrelevant but it isn't. I bet your dog/cat shits on your lounge floor and pisses on your clothes/anything it can even on you. However your not able to figure out why they keep doing it despite your constant yelling and letting them know they are a bad dog.
This was perfect to listen to while drawing. I got the kindle version too but the audio was perfect for drawing to thanks. Very good to hear what I already believed lol
Amazing book, my third reading, and still new insights come pouring out... the first two readings I did over two days, the first I was incredulous that there could be this whole other side to creation, the second was a springboard that I wasn't so timid about and so I found myself responding to it in my own words, I'm still not sure I haven't restated anything but, I had the feeling the muse had been at me a bit😂
It's good that Pressfield took up writing self-help books. That he imagined he was a writer when turning out trash monster movies like King Kong Lives (does such a movie actually exist?) is unfathomable. Taste and judgement and intelligence are a part of the art of creation, as much as everything else. Having said that, his fable about Bagger Vance did have a certain charm.
Regarding victim hood It looks like needing a Caine to be Able. Inside one person. Jekyll and Hyde. Child and God. This is a long known family dysfunction. We have to look Inside ourselves deeper than we believe we can. "Can't is a scarecrow" said Frederick Nietzsche
He says that Hitler wanted to be an artist. He applied to the academy of fine arts and the school of architecture. We are asked if we have ever seen one of his paintings. NO is the presumed answer, "resistance beat him. It was easier for Hitler to start World War Two than it was for him to face a blank square of canvas." Hitler faced many blank canvases and filled them. It wasn't exactly resistance that beat Hitler. He was rejected everywhere he applied to school. Perhaps if he had been accepted, the world might have been spared the war.
Carrying on about god and angels and spirits and the divine is mostly superstitious nonsense and not helpful as regards creativity. Parts of this are helpful in mastering self discipline but the religious blather is just silly
That's the style in self-developement books. Repetition of the same thing. A lot of what he says is a bunch of BS that he has rewrittened nicely or just ideas taken from others, like in the case of most self-development writers.
99 percent finished a book amd then he quit because he "didnt have the guts?" This guy is not stable. Just all so wrong. Most people will not relate to this bizarre stuff. Just because HE had a morbid psychotic fear of success doesnt mean WE have the same. He sounds like a self sabateur. That is not the problem most people have.
I think whether adhd is real or not is beside the point. I think it’s pretty obvious that adhd is real. But at the same time, it is an obstacles in the way, rather than a stop sign. Having adhd shouldn’t prevent you from doing whatever you want in life, it just may mean your solutions to problems may be different than others.
I think the word is a little over used here, you can guess what I am talking about, a lot of rhetoric trying to act profound, but if you are not a total hack, this book will not side you very much
I'm loving this book. The section about Madonna cracked me up though. 1:30:20 "Madonna does not IDENTIFY with Madonna, Madonna EMPLOYS Madonna" .... uh, I'm pretty sure that after all of that surgery that makes her look like a space alien on acid 24/7, she pretty much IDENTIFIES as MADONNA. But alas, she always seemed so savy and smart, who could've thought she'd go "full r3tard?"
Just as I expected: all is well until the author FAILS to tell us HOW to achieve victory over the negative forces. Shameful. Why did this end so suddenly? Such a disappointment. Just like 90 percent of books on writing fail to tell us HOW. The writers dont know how, they just know what NOT to do. When a screenwriter cant write a script, he turns to writinf books on HOW to write one. Same thing here. Frustrating.
If you seek the uncomfortable truths of the actual road map to many forms of success read Robert green. Laws of power and art of seduction are banned in prisons for a reason
Julia Roberts... The artists way shows you how but I don't think you will like it because she does bring the divine into it. If you can get past that then I'm sure it would be life changing for you.

The best and only thing one artist can do for another is to serve as an example and an inspiration… This very moment we can change our lives ❤️🔥

Resistance is futile. Someone had to say it.
Apparently its not.
Lol
Wait. Resistance is NOT futile? Or Resistance to RESISTANCE is not futile?
🤦🤣
Someone already said it I just can’t remember the title of the movie right now but thanks for the laugh
lol!!!!
Resistance and flow are as equal as love and fear, but certainly not the same. An inspired quotation-author, -unkonwn

This book is a dramatic screenplay 😂. Very well written 😊
Absolutely Awesome
Very good. Thanks.

If I hear the word resistance again it will be too soon. Good lord, pages after page repeating the same point.
That's the style in self-developement books. Repetition of the same thing. A lot of what he says is a bunch of BS that he has rewrittened nicely or just ideas taken from others, like in the case of most self-development writers.
Because…. that’s what “resistance” does, haunts the creative mind, over and over. Hence… Pressfield, stating “resistance against… resistance, resistance, resistance 😅😮”
Rewrittened?
99 percent finished a book amd then he quit because he "didnt have the guts?" This guy is not stable. Just all so wrong. Most people will not relate to this bizarre stuff. Just because HE had a morbid psychotic fear of success doesnt mean WE have the same. He sounds like a self sabateur. That is not the problem most people have.
ADHD is real. And yes some people abused the meds who are not afflicted with and a lot of people struggle with out meds but they still have it.
Yeah!! chronic illness is real and not “just in your head”
Some of this book has some very boomer takes.
Haha yeah... there's plenty of good info here, but it seems to be negligent to the fact that the author himself is just as biased as the rest of us.
the original book was produced by an older guy in 2002, its a product of its time
Sounds like victims that want someone to feel bad for them ? Omg poor thing has adhd ! People that had adhd were called normal kids back in the day
I think whether adhd is real or not is beside the point. I think it’s pretty obvious that adhd is real. But at the same time, it is an obstacles in the way, rather than a stop sign. Having adhd shouldn’t prevent you from doing whatever you want in life, it just may mean your solutions to problems may be different than others.
Wow I fell asleep thinking I understood his code and woke up finding out it was not even a code 😂❤

The voice gets annoying. You cant have a jolly ol 70 something year old reading a book that has cuss words in it.
There is NO WAY the fear of SUCCESS is the greatest fear of all. Absolutely false. Ridiculous.
Just as I expected: all is well until the author FAILS to tell us HOW to achieve victory over the negative forces. Shameful. Why did this end so suddenly? Such a disappointment. Just like 90 percent of books on writing fail to tell us HOW. The writers dont know how, they just know what NOT to do.

Like this comment if you looked for this because you were on the ship 30 for 30 blog
The cussing is cringeworthy.
Julia Roberts... The artists way shows you how but I don't think you will like it because she does bring the divine into it. If you can get past that then I'm sure it would be life changing for you.
