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.

Very Short Very Powerful

This is a great book to read to get you over hurdles and stumbling blocks. It gives you permission to be imperfect, which is what it is to be human. I can’t wait to put these nuggets into action.

Good, Short Read

I enjoyed this book. It is, at times, a bit pablum-y...but it has the general information for pro-activity and a conscious move toward personal mastery. Even though the author breaks things out into numbered interpretations, there is nothing new here. Common sense and a little bit of wonder. It's more Wayne Dyer and less Tony Robbins, thankfully.

I did not care for the author's narration.

What a great practical book!

This is a workbook slash motivational book. All creatives must read this book. It addresses those elements that prevent one from moving forward in creative works and gives the goods to break through.

Pressfield again with a win.

You may find what is said here a bit redundant if you have already read or listen to the war of Art, turning pro, Etc ...

Still, all of what is said needs to be said.
