Among the Most Important Books I Have Ever Read

This book is a tactical guide to confronting on a daily basis our resistance to offering up our creativity.  Its short pages are a practical textbook for confronting the shadow in us that does not want us to fufill our potential.  It lays clear the pathway through to serving up our gifts to the world…  I love this book.  If you are struffling to complete something creative this is your new bible. 

a guide for the creatively inclined

No, we're not talking about the Art of War. We're talking about something much more dangerous: the inner battle of the creator–the War of Art! Not for the feint of heart. If you're inspired and looking for some training in the how to deal with that inner battle we artists all know so well, then check this one out. You'll be happy you did.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.

If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don't do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet.
