The Artist's Journey: The Wake of the Hero's Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning

No one's insights about the craft and journey of being an artist have guided me in the day-to-day struggle of this profession more than Steven Pressfield. Wherever you are whatever you've been called to make you need to read this book...and everything else he has written.? Ryan Holiday Bestselling Author of Ego Is the Enemy and The Obstacle Is the WayYOU ARE AN ARTIST ... AND YOU HAVE AN ARTIST?S JOURNEYI have a theory about the Hero?s Journey. We all have one. We have many in fact. But our primary hero?s journey is the passage we live out in real life before we find our calling.The hero?s journey ends when like Odysseus we return home to Ithaca to the place from which we started.What then?The passage that comes next is The Artist?s Journey.On our artist?s journey we move past Resistance and past self-sabotage. We discover our true selves and our authentic calling and we produce the works we were born to create.You are an artist too?whether you realize it or not whether you like it or not?and you have an artist?s journey. Will you live it out? Will you follow your Muse and do the work you were born to do?Ready or not you are called.
