Meet the author

Before becoming an acclaimed bestselling author, Steven Pressfield spent decades as a struggling writer, battling the same creative Resistance he now teaches millions to conquer. His long journey from unpublished novelist to Hollywood screenwriter forged the profound, no-nonsense principles in this book. He codified his personal battle against self-sabotage into a universal field manual for any creator, artist, or entrepreneur seeking to win their inner creative war and do the work they were born to do.
