Steven Pressfield · 2002
Open LibraryGoodreads

Pressfield's book on resistance applies with particular force to musicians, where the gap between technical facility and creative output is often enormous. The concept of 'turning pro' — treating creative work as a practice with professional discipline regardless of whether it pays — is the mental shift that separates hobbyists from people who actually finish records.
