Publisher's summary

Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start? The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by best-selling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work. Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance - a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.

“There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours.” For other titles like Do the Work, visit thedominoproject.com for more information.

Get fired up!

Pressfield is dangerous to read. You’ll get inspired to quit your job and chase your dreams. Should be sold by prescription only.

remarkable

Would you listen to Do the Work again? Why?

A remarkable guide that elicits the need to be reread each year and near the beginning of every significant project and anytime that you just don't feel like doing the work. I guess I better read it again this evening...

Incredible perspective training

I love how some simple Steven describes resistance. Albeit it's still the greatest die in the our battles as entrepreneurs.

Write Now!

“Do the Work” - like Pressfield’s other books - is the essential operating manual for writers who write, rather than merely pretending to. Listen!

The Work

Full of insight and excellent ideas for “getting it done!” I suggest this to anyone trying to accomplish something that seems too difficult…like breaking a bad habit!

A practical guide to finding motivation

Narrated in the prose of a novelist, Do the Work shows how to avoid distraction and push through the dragon of resistance. It's an excellent guide for people who, like me, struggle with attention deficit. Highly recommend.
