Into the book
Procrastination is the most common form of resistance.
Because it seems the most reasonable.
We never say, 'I'll never use it.'
Instead, say, 'I will definitely use it starting tomorrow.'
--- p.21
I completely missed the Watergate scandal.
At that time, I was engrossed in writing every day, and after 26 months of nonstop work, I finally typed 'The End' on the last page.
No one knew I had finished the manuscript.
Nobody cared.
But I knew.
That the dragon I had fought against my entire life had finally fallen at my feet.
--- p.61
Even at age 75, Henry Fonda still vomited before going on stage.
He was still afraid, but he went up on stage anyway.
He knew that if he took action, fear would go away.
--- p.125
We are also afraid of success.
That we can truly unleash the potential we know deep down, that we can become the person we truly wanted to be.
This thought is what scares us the most.
Because then we would be suddenly thrown out of everything that was familiar and safe, and from the 'tribe' we instinctively believed we belonged to.
--- p.141
On the final day of the 2001 Masters, Tiger Woods had to stop mid-swing because of the sound of spectator camera shutters.
What's amazing is that he didn't get carried away by his anger, but refocused and hit a perfect 310-yarder.
A professional is someone who defines reality for himself, not for the situation.
Because it seems the most reasonable.
We never say, 'I'll never use it.'
Instead, say, 'I will definitely use it starting tomorrow.'

Publisher's Review
In the end, it was me who was blocking me.
"The War to Rise" is a book for everyone who harbors a passion for creation, faith in themselves, and a yearning for change.
This book tells us that we are not blocked by 'laziness', but by a structural and universal force called 'resistance'.
In this way, we restore respect for ourselves and renew our path to practice.
Steven Pressfield is direct.
He brings up the concept of "inner resistance," and soberly reveals that the things we put off—studying, exercising, starting a business, writing, making art, and so on—are due to the fear of failure, inadequacy, and the need to prove ourselves along the way.
And says:
If you're afraid, that's what you need to do.
Conveying the 'truth' that is stronger than 'motive'
"The War to Rise Again" makes your heart boil the moment you read it, and that excitement lasts a long time.
This book is not just about motivating, it tells the truth.
Once the truth is ingrained in your heart, you can no longer postpone or hide it as you used to.
“The difference between a pro and an amateur ultimately comes down to ‘execution,’” says Pressfield.
A professional is someone who acknowledges fear and resistance, but does not succumb to them.
This book is not just for artists or writers.
This book is for everyone who puts off what they want to do, and everyone who has dreamed but never made it happen.
Now, it's time to start your war
Countless dreams left unfulfilled, ideas left in notebooks, promises only spoken… Now is the time to win the war against them.
The War to Rise Again doesn't scold you.
However, I will tell you the truth so that you can no longer hide, and give you a powerful weapon to break through the stagnant reality.
