Here's a Steven Pressfield tri-fecta' for you.
The War of Art -
Think of The War of Art as tough love... for yourself.
Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat
"Resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to
silence the naysayers within us.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.Though it was written for writers, it has been
embraced by business entrepreneurs, actors, dancers, painters,
photographers, filmmakers, military service members and thousands of
others around the world.
"As I closed The War of Art, I felt a surge of positive calm. I now know I can
win this war. And if I can win, so can you." - From the foreword by Robert McKee,
screenwriting guru"
Turning Pro -
The follow-up to his bestseller The War of Art, Turning Pro navigates
the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice.
"You don't need to take a course or buy a product. All you have to do is change your mind."
--Steven Pressfield
TURNING PRO IS FREE, BUT IT'S NOT EASY.
When we turn pro, we give up a life that we may have become extremely
comfortable with. We give up a self that we have come to identify with
and to call our own.
The Warrior Ethos -
WARS CHANGE, WARRIORS DON'T
We are all warriors. Each of us struggles every day to define and defend our
sense of purpose and integrity, to justify our existence on the planet and to
understand, if only within our own hearts, who we are and what we believe in.
Do we fight by a code? If so, what is it? What is the Warrior Ethos? Where did
it come from? What form does it take today? How do we (and how can we)
use it and be true to it in our internal and external lives?
The Warrior Ethos is intended not only for men and women in uniform, but
artists, entrepreneurs and other warriors in other walks of life. The
book examines the evolution of the warrior code of honor and "mental
toughness." It goes back to the ancient Spartans and Athenians, to
Caesar's Romans, Alexander's Macedonians and the Persians of Cyrus the
Great (not excluding the Garden of Eden and the primitive hunting band).
Sources include Herodotus, Thucydides, Plutarch, Xenophon, Vegetius,
Arrian and Curtius--and on down to Gen. George Patton, Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel, and Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Dayan.
