About this listen

The follow-up to his best-seller The War of Art, Turning Pro navigates the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice.

"You don't need to take a course or buy a product. All you have to do is change your mind." (Steven Pressfield, author)

Turning pro is free, but it's not easy. When we turn pro, we give up a life with which we may have become extremely comfortable. We give up a self we have come to identify with and to call our own.

Turning pro is free, but it demands sacrifice. The passage from amateur to professional is often achieved via an internal odyssey whose trials are survived only at great cost, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. We pass through a membrane when we turn pro. It's messy, and it's scary. We tread in blood when we turn pro.

What we get when we turn pro. What we get when we turn pro is we find our power. We find our will and our voice, and we find our self-respect. We become who we always were but had until then been afraid to embrace and live out.

Life-changing. A must-read in bite-size chunks.

Though this book is short and to the point. I believe the main part is at chapter 30 to 79.
The reading sounded like a robot. Probably is so you'll end up falling asleep at times.

Short and sweet

Love every bit of it!! Steven Pressfield knows how put everything in the perfect perspective. Turning pro should be the number one pursuit in life. For someone who wants to retain the wisdom better, going the book through more than once is advised.
