The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

*Note: I had to clean up my original review to make it work appropriate.  That's how mad I was after reading this terrible book.*

What a pretentious piece of ridiculous crud.

It has:
• Harmful, uninformed medical opinions (Why?? It's a book on creativity. Just NO.)
• Bizarre and illogical assessments of historical figures
• COMPLETELY FAKE STATISTICS (How did those even survive editing? You can't make figures up to back your outrageous opinions. You need real sources. They should be cited. This is the fastest way to enrage a librarian.)
• Constant judgment
• So much repetition I want to poke my eyes out (because I got it the first 50 times you said it)
• And an exhausting, superior, egotistical attitude.

I can't believe I wasted money on such a terrible book. Typically, I avoid posting one star ratings and reviews, but since this is parading about calling itself nonfiction, I have to interject to say it's nothing more than a bizarre and often offensive opinion piece, full of some very obvious statements about creativity. Don't read this drivel, unless you enjoy judgmental, condescending monologues that go nowhere.

If you want an interesting, thoughtful book on writing and creativity, try Stephen King's ON WRITING.
