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.

Listened to the entire book in two spells. Loved the content and the engaging delivery. Learned a lot; gained enormous wisdom. Its an eye opener, a whack on the side of the head.

Turning Pro isn’t a revolutionary concept but Steven speaks in layman’s terms and weaves a narrative that makes you think about how you are living. I enjoyed the internal dialogue it created in me and the fact that it got me to evaluate my actions, habits and processes I currently employ. Very enjoyable outcome from a short time commitment.

Thought provoking

Provides a great framework for aspiring artists, authors and entrepreneurs to use in building a disciplined mindset and eliminating negative habits. The people giving it bad reviews sound like losers who haven't accomplished anything in life and hearing this just made them realize how much of their life they've actually wasted getting drunk and cosuming media. Morons should go read a "how to write for dummies" book or something. Because apparently being told they have to actually put in work offends them. Go have another drink with your loser friends and exchange excuses for why you can't get your life together and why it's not your fault.

Good for anyone struggling with procrastination

Essential for anyone who's serious about their career, purpose or staying focused. Especially, when times are tough for you.

Practical, powerful and an easy listen.
