I re-read Steven Pressfield’s ‘War of Art’ at least once a year. If you feel called to a creative or entrepreneurial endeavour, this book is critical reading.
Each time I pick it up, I run into my notes and highlights from previous readings.
There is magic in the margins.
I’m reminded that my goals are still largely consistent in the years that I’ve been reading this book (my first read was in 2015!). I’m also reminded that my struggles haven’t changed either. I’m buoyed by what progress I’ve made, but also dissatisfied with where I’ve evidently dragged my feet.
The book is a plea to get out of the stands and into the game, and the magic in the margins is a comforting whisper in the ear before running out onto the field.
