    Shipping was fast. The item arrived in perfect condition: not even a crease or dog ear. It was as described, wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap in a nice form fitting USPS box. This item seems to be very rare. I have seen it go for 5x as much in other places and even though it's the most expensive volume in my collection to date, I believe I got it at a bargain. Huge thanks once again to the seller. Now if I could just get the last 3 books and complete the set, I can die happy. Cheers.

    Item was as described and the seller was very quick to respond when a shipping error occurred (this was a USPS issue and nothing related to the seller). Shipping was prompt and they were able to accommodate my request. I would immediately purchase a second copy of my item or any other item I'm interested in from this seller in the future. Thank you!

    Recommended seller that communicates well and is dedicated to what they do. Item was well packed and promptly shipped and well valued. Expect delays with early tracking due to regional post office issues.

    The War of Art Battles Procrastination

    The War of Art contains many ideas on why artists find it so hard to move to completion and what to do about it. The author (Pressfield) cites many examples of why we don't do the work, and not quite as many examples of solutions. There is plenty of empty space at the bottom of most pages making the book longer than it needs to be. Perhaps Pressfield knows that in order to hold the attention of those who have a propensity to avoid starting a task, he or she must first divide the goal into smaller, doable chores. I did notice a feeling of accomplishment as I turned each page faster than if each page were full to the brim. Sneaky, ok I get it.

    Yeah, maybe... if you can connect with the author's narrative.

    Recommended by my guitar teacher for overcoming the blocks to creativity. Might work for some but the book didn't retain my interest... sitting on the shelf with a bookmarker in it about 1/3 the way in.

    Identify, defeat, and unlock inner barriers to creativity.

    This book is not just for writers and artists, but for anyone and everyone who wonders why they hold themselves back from success; disallow self-compassion; and need to find the tools to break through disabling boundaries. Easy reading too, and small enough to carry in purse or fold up and put in pocket.

    The best self help book

    To be honest, I cannot stand the “self help” book genre. So, when this was recommend to me by friends, I was expecting it to be just as overly idealistic, and patronizing as other self help books that I have been talked in to reading. But I LOVE this book. It is full of valuable ways of thinking and behaving that truly help foster personal and artistic growth. Though I believe in this book, “art” is more of a metaphor, as the concepts in this book can be applied to many facets of life. If you are a reader that dislikes “self help” books, you NEED to check this one out. And if you are a reader that enjoys these types of books....well. You tried others, now try the best.
