About this listen

I have a theory about the "Hero's Journey". We all have one. We have many, in fact. But our primary hero's journey is the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling. The hero's journey ends when, like Odysseus, we return home to Ithaca, to the place from which we started.

What then?

The passage that comes next is the "Artist's Journey".

On our artist's journey, we move past resistance and past self-sabotage. We discover our true selves and our authentic calling, and we produce the works we were born to create.

You are an artist too - whether you realize it or not, whether you like it or not - and you have an artist's journey. Will you live it out? Will you follow your muse and do the work you were born to do?

Ready or not, you are called.

i consider Mr. Pressfield MY COACH and I really believe his series on "The War of Art" including this book and Turning Pro are divinely inspired. His suggestion that Gates of Fire is in the same vein IS TRUE and if you haven't read it YOU SHOULD 100% He covers FEAR beautifully there.

Stick with this one; let it get into your head. Initially the narrative was slightly irritating but I stuck with it & found it hugely inspirational. Unlike other books which just spill out the same old stuff about working hard & thinking differently, if you're looking for moving up a level, this is definitely for you. I loved it & will be listening again as I think I will pick up bits that perhaps I missed on my first listen. Love it!

There are some great nuggets in here and lands the way a motivational captain might, swinging in with a jagged knife clenched in his teeth.
