📕 BOOK OF THE WEEK

Wonderful book. If you create something, anything - read it. It will help you be less attached to the outcome and more determined to excel at what you do. Unlike many personal development books, The War of Art, keeps its chapters direct and to the point, actionable without complex strategies or psychobabble.
I'd recommend this book to everyone! Especially if you have any kind of procrastination issues... this book will explain clearly why you do this and why you need to get off your chair.
