The Artist's Journey

Book • 2018

Steven Pressfield

In 'The Artist's Journey', Steven Pressfield extends the concept of the hero's journey to the artist's life.

The book posits that after completing the hero's journey, an individual embarks on the artist's journey, a path of self-discovery, creative production, and overcoming internal resistance.

It emphasizes the importance of finding one's authentic calling and producing work that is true to oneself.

The journey is described as a constant, solitary, and mental evolution focused on self-discovery rather than self-expression.
