Book of the Week: The War of Art
Not all readers are leaders but all leaders are readers. This is a new series I will be doing to help you, today’s book of the week is the War of Art.
Don’t You Mean the Art of War?
No, I mean the War of Art by Steven Pressfield. I just started reading this book yesterday and let me tell you, it is already one of my favorites. This book dives into what prevents us from accomplishing what we know we want to and perhaps even are meant to. He calls it, Resistance. Here are some of his thoughts on the matter (from the book):
Rule of Thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.
Resistance obstructs movement only from a lower sphere to a higher. Ray’s example: If you want to stop focusing on building your network marketing team to promote a new shiny object, resistance will do a happy dance as that is exactly what it hopes for, your distraction and lack of focus on what you really want.
As artists and professionals it is out obligation to enact our own internal revolution, a private insurrection inside our own skulls. In this uprising we free ourselves from the tyranny of consumer culture. We overthrow the programming of advertising, movies, video games, magazines, TV and MTV by which we have been hypnotized from the cradle. We unplug ourselves from the grid by recognizing that we will never cure our restlessness by contributing our disposable income to the bottom line of Bullshit, Inc., but only by doing our work.
Now you see why I love this as my very first book of the week selection!
Who Should Read the War of Art?
Well, the easy answer is everyone should pick up my selection for book of the week but here is a more precise answer.
Anyone who has ever felt resistance, procrastination, or struggles to accomplish the goals they really care about, should read the War of Art.
There, back to everyone right?
The language Steven Pressfield uses in this book is astounding and powerful and I am truly grateful my coach suggested this book to me.

Sounds like an interesting book Ray. Something worth checking out.
Thanks Ray yes keep recommending good books
Well you know if you are suggesting it, I'm going to read it! This couldn't come at a better time since I'm working on getting through some of my own personal blocks to writing that I face sometimes. You did make me giggle when you said "not the Art of War…" makes me think of Seinfeld when Elaine says 'War…what's it good for?'
As always…you rock Ray!
That 's the beauty of this business you can keep learning growing , getting better. You have the opportunity to be excited and to learn so much. So that every morning you are excited about your day and think about how many people you can help each day . Yes keep recommending books Ray, thanks
Super review Ray ~ sounds like a book I need in my library so yes I am going to read it! So thankful that you and I met in the internet world ~ Keep sending us your pearls of wisdom!
Wow! I just looked up the book and found two other ones by the same author entitled "Do The Work", and "Turning Pro". Too Excited! Thank you Ray Higdon!
Very interesting that your book recommendation of the week is this one. I just watched an interview between Marie Forleo and the author of this book, Steven Pressfield just last night before I went to bed. I'd never heard of him or this book but I guess the universe is giving me a little nudge to check this out. Thanks, Ray! Oh, I LOVE your take on "Think and Grow Rich". really great book.
Cool, neat how that happens
Keep the book selections coming. Thank you. Mix in a few good fiction ones as well.
Ray: I love This book and this man…awesome pick….
Tried to get your book but it needed a kindle…that is what it is still showing:(
Rule of Thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more resistance we will feel toward pursuing it… this is profound and really helpful info Ray.. I feel resistance as "energy blocks" too. Resistance can be very distracting. I try to "befriend resistance" and that does help alot.. I'll have to read this book! Thanks for recommendation!
Awesome! I love this concept and I think you picked a great book to kick it off with.
Great Idea. I always wondered ‘What does Ray read?’ but I do have a question. This book you are suggesting. Are you reading it or listening to the audio book?
Reading it on my kindle app
Love this idea Ray!
Sounds like a great book, I will have to add it to my library.
Great book so far! Thanks for the pick! I'm sure you will bless many with this series. Imagine the difference we could make if we all just shared things we were blessed by.
