À propos de cet audio

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.

Great book but why so many chapters for such a short book? There were over 100?... it took away from the experience everytime Steven would start a new chapter. Other than that a fantastic book for anyone, but especially artists, still 5 star despite the distraction of a new chapter 2 minutes after the previous one.

awesome but why so many chapters?

Loved it. Especially the philosophical last third of the book. Takes his ideas from The War of Art, Turning Pro and Do the Work to the next level.

I was constantly pausing to drop an electronic bookmark on phrases that struck me as particularly profound, either in their uniqueness, or their downright simplicity. And most often it was the simplicity of the ideas that I enjoyed the most.

It’s a super quick read/listen, actually, it clips along at break-neck speed, and it’s full of great little nuggets of info to light a little fire under our asses to create. It’s stuff most of us know, or have heard in passing, but it packs a good punch as a reminder, and sprinkles in some unique points of view.

Here are some quotes that I appreciated:

“You can attend the Iowa Writers Workshop, get a degree in literature from Harvard, hang on your wall a framed MFA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts. You can serve with the Navy Seals in Afghanistan, survive heroin addiction in East St. Louis, you can break you back in hard labour, break your heart in love, break your balls in the school of hard knocks. None of it will do a damn bit of good if you can’t sit down and open a pipeline to your muse. The artists journey is about that, nothing else matters, nothing else counts.”

“The artist mines the same vein over and over, he just digs deeper over time.”

“The struggle between an artist and her work is a duel to the death. One of them is going to surrender. One of them will go belly up.”

“The artist discovers herself by the work she produces. Who are you? Dance and find out. Sing and find out. Write and find out.”

Break-Neck Pace, Packs-A-Punch Guidance

When multiple passages within a book seem to describe the very condition of your own existence, that book is probably for you. :-)

Enlightenment!

His mellifluous voice and his apt wording come together perfectly to turn my brain on and into gear. Another inspiring book by Steven Pressfield.

Great narration

I've never heard a male artist use the female pronoun so often and it is an amazing experience to be so recognized this way. Thank you! Steven Pressfield, the author of many best sellers including The Legend of Bagger Vance, writes with absolute authority on the experience of being a human with a seed of desire and a dormant, demanding inspiration- which is ALL of us. He believes in the mystical and makes his case for the existence of a force greater than ourselves pressing us to express our inner art whatever medium that might require- writing, painting, advocacy, film, music, leadership, anything that takes a Point of View and puts it out into the world with the full force of intentionality behind it. If you wish to add this to the alchemy found in Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" you'll have the tools to finally channel your muse, mission, madness and relieve the internal pressure of having an untapped PURPOSE.

Inclusive and profoundly insightful

Picked this up after getting through “the war of art” and this book was just as good. If you’re an aspiring artist or entrepreneur, this will help you unpack the things around you that try to stop you from being an artist. I’ve felt a lot of what he’s talking about for a long time now, it’s nice to be able to have someone break it down so accurately.

Things you know but maybe don’t “know”

Wow. I’m totally inspired! I’m sure this is one of those books I will read over and over as I mature on my AJ! Thank you for putting it out there. I sure needed to know that my art is important and purposeful and that I can take it very seriously even if others don’t, a battle I’ve wrestled with all my life. I know you’re right. ❤️😀🌷🇨🇦

This book gets you into “ready to do it” mode. Now you can enjoy the process of creating humanity’s future with a great sense of purpose. The author goes from mundane to deep spiritual information which touched my body, mind and soul deeply. I loved this book and highly recommend it!

Strong, powerful and amazing book
