Could you be getting in your way of producing great work?
Have you started a project but never finished?
Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start?
The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by bestselling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work.
Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance – a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.
“There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours.”
Do The Work isn't so much a follow-up to The War of Art as it is an action guide that gets down and dirty in the trenches.
Say you've got a book, a screenplay or a startup in your head but you're stuck or scared or just don't know how to begin, how to break through or how to finish.
Do The Work takes you step-by-step from the project's inception to its ship date, hitting each predictable 'Resistance point' along the way and giving techniques and drills for overcoming each obstacle.
There's even a section called 'Belly of the Beast' that goes into detail about dealing with the inevitable moment in any artistic or entrepreneurial venture when you hit the wall and just want to cry 'HELP!'

Reviews
Steven Pressfield hits right where it hurts. Honest, valuable advice for those with artistic/entrepreneurial spirits. Get a kick and start working.
This book is just what I needed... I am fairly smart but have not succeeded to the level I should be capable of. The reason: negative self-talk that stymies my every move. This book puts a face on it, gives great insight into what's going on and solid advice for getting past it. Combined with some out-loud in-my-face affirmations I have started to get some things done I have resisted for years.
It is an easy read and makes a good 'bible' for dealing with those times when you find yourself stuck.
Unconventional presentation of the most conventional advice you'll ever get. This is a book for all time. Read it and you'll see.
