The War of Art: Overcoming creative resistance
The podcast episode discusses Stephen Pressfield's book, 'The War of Art,' recommended by Joe Rogan. The book explores the concept of resistance that creatives often face when trying to create or get things done. Resistance is the feeling of not wanting to do the work, facing creative blocks, or experiencing a lack of motivation. The key to overcoming resistance, according to Pressfield, is to keep showing up and doing the work, even when you don't feel like it. This commitment signals your dedication to your craft and helps the creative energy flow.
