The War of Art is about achieving bold creative goals. In a clever play on Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, Pressfield focuses on overcoming "Resistance" (the enemy), and his book offers some real insight into the kinds of things that block forward progress (naturally, it also provides techniques for working around them). Pressfield accomplishes all this with short, zen-like chapters. There's definitely some solid psychology here.

A lot of artists and writers seem very passionate about this book. It's not earth-shattering, but it is worthwhile, and I may revisit it at some point.
