Turning Pro

Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work

De: Steven Pressfield

Narrado por: Steven Pressfield

The follow-up to his best-seller The War of Art, Turning Pro navigates the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice.

"You don't need to take a course or buy a product. All you have to do is change your mind." (Steven Pressfield, author)

Turning pro is free, but it's not easy. When we turn pro, we give up a life with which we may have become extremely comfortable. We give up a self we have come to identify with and to call our own.

Turning pro is free, but it demands sacrifice. The passage from amateur to professional is often achieved via an internal odyssey whose trials are survived only at great cost, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. We pass through a membrane when we turn pro. It's messy, and it's scary. We tread in blood when we turn pro.

What we get when we turn pro. What we get when we turn pro is we find our power. We find our will and our voice, and we find our self-respect. We become who we always were but had until then been afraid to embrace and live out.

might be the reality check your looking for

as good as this material may be, mr. pressfield reading it himself made it that much better.

A Big Slap In The Face

A big slap in the face for those who want wake up and do what they came here to do. This book is a fantastic companion to Steve’s bestseller masterpiece, The War of Art. When you crave another level of that, absolutely read this.

Listen to this OR The War of Art...

I enjoyed this book but there's a lot of duplicate information. I didn't mind because I listened to The War of Art twice back to back, but this still has some new tidbits that are important. It's a short listen and has a good pace. Useful without fluff. I slightly prefer the marching / war-themed production of The War of Art, but they're both good. Enjoy

Pretty good

It’s not War of Art. But, there are definitely some nuggets here. It’s worth a read.
