Reader reviews for The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.79 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.79 / 5 (235 total reviews)

Readers were sharply divided. Many praised the first two sections for naming “Resistance,” advocating a professional mindset, and delivering brisk, one-page chapters that sparked motivation. Just as many balked at the third section’s angels-and-muses mysticism, the combative tone, and the lack of concrete, research-backed guidance. Widely seen as a pep talk rather than a how-to, it energized stalled creatives while frustrating those seeking step-by-step advice.
