Living the unlived life...
1 of 1 found this helpful This book is the BEST 'self help' book. Unlike others, it doesn't blather on sentimentally for hundreds of pages. Following the format of the 'Art of War', it is extremely easy to access info anywhere in the book--in fact, you can open it anywhere and extract solid, succinct info. However, you'll get the most from it by reading it cover to cover first, in my opinion. His stories illustrate the points well, and he hits you with the hard info--no ambiguity, just straight wisdom. In fact, this book is so good, 5 out of 5 people I handed it to *instantly* found the value in it (by opening a random page, they were all hooked) and they all have bought themselves copies within a week. One, even finished it that very evening!
Why? because it's no-bullshit, and laconic.
I'm working on my MA right now. 2 people in my group that I showed it to have purchased it. It has been the saving grace in the struggle to conquer this MA. I wish I could tell Steven Pressfield how much a difference that book has made in my life. It's brought to light all of my hangups and how much control resistance has had over me and the direction of my life. Hell, everyone lives with resistance, but do we ever notice how subtle it can be? It's unbelievable how much we, and even those around us, who are dealing with their own resistance, bring each other down.
Read this book. It doesn't cost much,it's small, and it's not *wordy*.It's wisdom is worth *far* more than money can buy, let me tell you.
