My guest is Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art and expert in how to overcome the inner force of "resistance"—the self-sabotaging tendency to procrastinate on your life's most important work that keeps you from realizing your professional and creative potential. Steven shares actionable tools for defeating inner resistance that work. His approach is concrete, not based on slogans or inspirational messages. As the author of numerous best-selling books and screenplays, Steven's routines for cultivating discipline and focus, including his physical training regimen (he is incredibly mentally and physically vigorous at 82), are applicable by anyone. He gives you effective practical strategies for how to structure your day, overcome procrastination and self-doubt and do your best, most meaningful work.Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAGZ by AG1: https://drinkagz.com/hubermanHelix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/hubermanBetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/hubermanRorra: https://rorra.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanDavid: https://davidprotein.com/hubermanTimestamps(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Disclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
