The Artist's Journey
by Steven Pressfield
After the hero's journey comes the artist's: the lifelong work of serving your gift. Pressfield on the muse, the subject you were born to, and the second half of a creative life. Shorter and more mystical than The War of Art.

Three things you will actually use

- The artist's journey is the rest of your life.
- Serve the work, not the ego.
Do this first
Read it in one sitting and write your 'subject'.
