About this listen

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.

Excellent Book & re-alligning

I really enjoyed this book and wished it was longer!
Really worth the listen.
The War Of Art is also an excellent book I listen to often

think reading the book would be better...

as there's no pauses to allow for time to digest ideas. saying that all the chapters are short and clear. Easy to listen to.

Amazing and inspirational

This is the second Pressfields books I’ve now read/listened to. I’ve been a working artist for thirty years and still found it motivating and enlightening.

Wow, I believed the reviews and bought this book!

Too philosophical, too tedious and uninspiring!

I pressed on, ever the optimist, to find the last 50 minutes worth listening to. The rest…… well, you make up your own mind.
