Reading list for Apr-2011

Another tricky month or rather yet another busy month and its taking a toll on my reading. Here are the two books I plan to read this month, both from Steven Pressfield:
The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle
Novelist Pressfield (The Legend of Bagger Vance, Gates of Fire) presents his first self-help book, which aims to inspire writers, artists, musicians, or anyone else attempting to channel his or her creative energies. The focus is on combating Resistance and living the destiny that Pressfield believes is gifted to each person by an all-powerful deity. The whole aim of Resistance, says Pressfield is to prevent you from doing the work you are called to do. Resistance wants you to take it easy, to be ordinary and mediocre, to take the low road. Resistance is the reason so many people place a basket over the brilliant candle that shines within them.

Do The Work (Free Kindle edition while it lasts)
Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start?

The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by bestselling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work.
Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance – a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.
