Comments on: Book Recommendation – The War of Art http://dennissnowblog.com/commentary/book-recommendation-the-war-of-art/ Dennis Snow Blog Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:27:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Adrian Varnam http://dennissnowblog.com/commentary/book-recommendation-the-war-of-art/#comment-114 Adrian Varnam Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:47:24 +0000 http://dennissnowblog.com/?p=542#comment-114 Hey Dennis -- sorry for the lapse in communication. I have an undergraduate degree in Creative Writing and I think The War of Art should/could absolutely be required reading in the curriculum. It makes the intangible tangible (Resistance) and, to me at least, is as important a work as any we read in discussing the craft and process of writing. And of course the principles Pressfield lays out can be applied across the board to any major or profession, I believe. Hey Dennis — sorry for the lapse in communication.

Don't you think The War of Art should be part of the curriculum for any college (or even high school)? Thanks for your comment, Adrian.

It got me through Grad School, it got me to finally get my site up, and it's gotten me through nearly every other head-bang-against-the wall moment that life's thrown at me. I can't tell you enough how much it's improved my work and creative life. Keep spreading the word! Best, Adrian Dennis,

I've sent the questions to him and will post the questions and responses as soon as I have them. What a great example of the Abundance Mentality!

I sometimes do a thing with friends who are interested, which is a Q&A of any three questions they'd like to ask about the book and its message. If you're interested, I'd be glad to do it for your blog. Just shoot me an e-mail and we'll take it from there. Happy New Year and thanks for the plug!
