Summary
Pressfield names the force that keeps creative people from doing their work: Resistance. It's procrastination, self-doubt, perfectionism, distraction, fear — all the ways the mind protects itself from the discomfort of making something real. The book is short, punchy, almost militaristic. The cure is simple and brutal: turn pro. Show up daily. Sit at the desk whether or not the muse arrives. Don't argue with Resistance; just outwork it.
