Book Reviews of The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
Book Review: Eye opening!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great book that a friend recommended to me and I'm glad she did. Sometimes artists get stuck or stagnant and more than once I have found myself "warring" with myself as we sometimes do. This book opened my eyes to some of my creative blocks. Great reading.
