"No one's insights about the craft and journey of being an artist have guided me in the day-to-day struggle of this profession more than Steven Pressfield. Wherever you are, whatever you've been called to make, you need to read this book...and everything else he has written."- Ryan Holiday, Bestselling Author of Ego Is the Enemy and The Obstacle Is the WayYOU ARE AN ARTIST ... AND YOU HAVE AN ARTISTS JOURNEYI have a theory about the Heros Journey. We all have one. We have many, in fact. But our primary heros journey is the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling.The heros 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 Artists Journey.On our artists 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 artists 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.
