Steven Pressfield is a historian and author of War of Art, a book
that had a big impact on my life and the life of millions of
whose passion is to create in art, science, business, sport, and
everywhere else. I highly recommend it and others of his books on
this topic, including Turning Pro, Do the Work, Nobody Wants to
Read Your Shit, and the Warrior Ethos. Also his books Gates of
Fire about the Spartans and the battle at Thermopylae, The Lion’s
Gate, Tides of War, and others are some of the best historical
fiction novels ever written.
