The central thesis is that procrastinating inhibits our long-term success and what we’re “born to do.” It sounds great in theory, but the author pads the work with superstitions, fake facts, and proselytizing. I got through about thirty minutes of this book before I couldn’t take it anymore. I listened to half an hour and it already ruined my entire day Write your own list of motivational bullet points. You already know that procrastination hurts. I'd say save yourself the time and money.

Pressfield reads this in an angry-ish and judgmental tone, and I think that's right in line with the tone of the text. When he starts saying that cancer is cured by people who produce art.yeah, I checked out. He has no validation for these claims, but he presents them as facts which is extremely irresponsible. However, when he begins explaining how ADHD or anxiety disorders are not REAL-but instead the result of resistance and procrastination-I felt a bit uneasy. Resistance stops us from accomplishing so much. But the stuff Pressfield says is really difficult to endorse. Listening to this book made it much easier. I tried reading the physical version of this book, but it read like a series of bullet points listed beneath a guiding topic.
