This is single handedly the most beneficial video I’ve ever watched on youtube..great video I’m gonna get the book and God bless anyone reading this in life
I've had a career as an artist and I think I've overcome resistance by simply being inspired to make art. I've enjoyed the process so much there wasn't that much temptation to do things like watch too much TV etc. As your work improves so does self confidence so there's no reason not to overcome the resistance towards fear of putting your work out there. I was lucky--I've liked drawing since I was five years old.
Then you are incredibly lucky. Have you ever felt at any point that once your passion became your profession, that your desire to create diminished in any way?
@@hakametal I can get burned out from time to time but that's about it. Some projects I work on are more interesting than others too. But actually overall, the better I get at my craft the less frustrating it is and easier to enjoy. I know when I was younger there were times where it was so frustrating because the art didn't look how I wanted it. I really do feel if you are truly inspired you won't get bored in your pursuits. That doesn't mean there won't be times where it is difficult.
Hello there! I relate a lot to your comment and I would like to share my latest video with you, where I talk about my top 10 conclusions about the War of Art. Thought it may interest you, given that my videos are all about creativity, personal growth and self-help. Thank you for your time! Angélique ruclips.net/video/kUP3mFiM1KM/видео.html
How do you overcome the initial hurdle when you’re starting out, and your work is not that great yet? Is it just sheer passion? Do you ever question whether this is what you were meant to do?
@@sentientbeans For me personally, yes, I think it is the pure interest- partially in drawing itself and partially for the subject matter. Don't be worried too much about comparing your work to others or to a really high standard in the beginning. If you are struggling, watch tutorials or take classes on the core fundamentals. That will make you improve faster than just trying on your own, esp if you aren't seeing results fast as you would like. Aside from that just try to have some art sessions just for fun too!
Thanks for the summary. I overcome resistance by sitting through the time I blocked for my creative project. If the fear is strong, I sit through the fear. It goes away relatively fast.
Dear People, I implore you, read the book yourself. This does little to really convey the messages in this book. I watched this very video a few years ago. Yesterday I decided to buy the audiobook and what i got out of it has changed the way I think.🙏🏾♥️
Awesome!!!! I tried listening to podcasts and had to sift through too much and the language. You've covered the core without a single cuss word! I'm so impressed and thankful. This makes so much sense.
This was an awesome book. I wanted to read it again, but you covered it in 6 minutes. Maybe reading it again would've been part of the resistance. You just saved me some time to do the work. Great video.
I am so delighted that I just discovered your channel! I am so grateful for this discovery 😄 thank you for the tremendous effort you put into your videos.
Thank you for your contribution to us. It teaches and inspires! The style, quality and creativity of your channel's summaries distinguish it from other similar offerings.
Loved this book... Stumbled upon it in my collection about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately, fell back into my default. Need to revisit it. Thanks for the review.
Wow Nathan I'm hooked on your channel, you have great story telling and animation skills. I looked online to learn more about you, but couldn't find much. I'm interested in learning about the tools that you are using for animation, they are so much more interesting than a powerpoint presentation. I wish you could share with us a little bit more about your secrets. Thanks for putting this together, I'm a business man without enough time to read all the books that I want. I find these summaries to be very enlightening. I purchased the productivity game pdf compilation and I print out each one that I find particularly interesting.
Good summary. Still reading or listening to the full book is good for important details and significant points -> Also Recommend: " *Can't Hurt Me* " by David Goggins and " *Flow* " by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
There's a big flaw in this theory: "the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference". You might be resisting something because you genuinely hate it but you're trying to force yourself to do it either for a job or because it's a bad faith assumption that you "should" be doing it. Definitely be careful with telling the difference between "love because not indifferent" and "hate".
If you had a course on the process you use to make your videos from the very beginning till the end and it cost $50 or less i would buy it. (even if it was just you talking 45 minutes to your cellphone camera)
I feel like some things get mixed up a bit here. Resistance and fear or anxiety are not the same things and can even have nothing to do with each other. I believe it's important to overcome resistance, but there's also moments when it's there for a valid reason and might be a message to actually keep us from doing something that would hurt us. And at the same time just because we don't feel resistance towards soemething doesn't mean it's not valuable or worth aspiring to. I think it's just a bit more complex than that.
You need to read the book (or download the audio book). Pressfield goes into the relationship between all of these things, how the ego is naturally designed to protect us from reality, the conscious self versus the unconscious self, and understanding where creation comes from. This summary is only a summary. You may not believe resistance and fear/anxiety are the same thing... but they are deeply related to each other.
Great video. Not entirely true that all humans are creative (at least to an extent where creative production is possible), but I think resistance is not limited to creative endeavors only. Love the summaries, keep it up!:)
'How to talk about following Jesus, without mentioning His Name' ;) I can tell you every wisdom that is in this video is in the Bible. Plus you get more in the Bible :)

Ty!
True true
Great info in a fantastic length. Thank you 🙏🏼.
waste of money
@@MahmudulHasan-gp5ln waste of a comment.
I overcame Resistance to finish watching this Video. Honestly
This should be taught to every child in America
This is the barrier we all struggle to move past, every single day of our lives!
Excellent video and summary - thank you yet again, Nathan!

Your Chanel is the best.
Hitler failed out of art school. That was not by his own resistance, it was more than likely the decisions of the Instructors.
Damn I feel I downloaded the book into my head with this video, thanks for the awesome creative work you are doing.
thank you for your videos they have helped me greatly to add to my reading list and helped me achieve my fitness goals! :)

Where I can fidn that story about Robert Mckee?? Thank you!
Watching this video is resistance
Can I get a copy of that book, please?
Thanks from Indonesian
"have you ever seen a painting by hitler? i've seen more hitler paintings than picasos actually. 30 vs 4
Kosmos de Kosmopoliet you sound stupid
thought I was the only one
He was surprisingly good too
Shocking to think that an ugly mind could produce some of those works
@@bussmigun83(Hmm.)
All creative people need to have a little Ed Wood in them.
Thanks a lot
Can you please recommend your top three reads?
Just about everyone of your books profiled are either books I've read or books on my reading list..!
He should writ a book with david goggins, they discuss the same problem in essence
"it was easier for hitler to start world war II than to face a blank square of canvas" wow
Please write summary about "Make Time" by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So basically it's The Will to Power by Nietzsche written in modern pop style.
The link for PDF summary doesn't work . :)
Should work now, try again
the pDf please
The CREATIVE ACT by Rick Rubin may be helpful, too.
===========================================
make part 2
Great video. Not entirely true that all humans are creative (at least to an extent where creative production is possible), but I think resistance is not limited to creative endeavors only.
Love the summaries, keep it up!:)
i love the book. sad he used the hitler example though.. because there are several Hitler paintings. And some are pretty good!
SO resistance is fear of failure or what??
I thought this book is going to teach you how to be creative in your art (whether it's music, painting, film, screenwriting etc) but yea I guess not.
My only resistance is how to get to USA!When i get there i clearly know what my goals are!!!
The same with my piano.
💯⭐☀️💛✌️🙏👌💪👍👊🔥
LOL “It was easier for Hitler to start World War Two than it was to face a blank canvas” BAHAHAHA OK
'How to talk about following Jesus, without mentioning His Name' ;) I can tell you every wisdom that is in this video is in the Bible. Plus you get more in the Bible :)
you missed the main point, read it again
This is a short read, do yourself a favour and read it....
