…steven pressfield mentioning his follow-up book on writing and advertising
“If I can hype one of my books, it's a small follow-up to The War of Art called Nobody Wants to Read Your Shit. And it kind of, a lot of it is about what you learn in advertising because nobody wants to read your ads or listen to your commercials or anything like that.”

Turning Pro👍 Recommends
…steven pressfield explaining his book on adopting a professional mindset
“My book, Turning Pro, is about that, flipping that switch in your head that costs no money. You don't have to take a course. You don't have to get certified. All you have to do is sort of say to yourself, if you can do it, and it ain't easy, okay, I'm going to attack this thing, whatever it is now, as if I were Kobe Bryant.”
