The tale of Telamon in A Man at Arms is one I’ll never tire of.

Hope you enjoy it!

    Thank you, and thanks to the producers of that segment. Even though I have read in print and seen you deliver your message in interviews before, I never tire of it – it is a message I need to hear frequently. This is why I hang around! I appreciate your efforts and committment to delivering your Work, and I continue to be inspired by it. Recognizing Resistance as an ever-present force has been the biggest piece for me as an artist. Seeing it like gravity or the passage of time has really simplified the Why questions – it comes down to putting in the work.

    This was awesome!! The world needs to hear about and internalize the Warrior Ethos, which for me has been embodied by the concept of Might for Right in the Arthurian Cycle, and by the Fenian Cycle in Irish Lore. Honor. Courage. The willingness to leave it all on the field for a higher purpose. Thank you, Steven. You inspire.

      I respect your efforts and dedication to completing your Work, and I am continually motivated by it. The most important realization for me as an drift hunters artist has been that Resistance is a constant force. The Why questions have been greatly reduced when seen as being similar to gravity or the passage of time; it only requires effort.

    Thank you for sharing this interview and new video series The Warrior Archetype. Just watched episodes 1-3 and will continue through to the end.
    My takeaway was admiration and inspiration, for which I thank you.
    It’s true, although I have read all your books on resistance, or the “inner battle” books. I haven’t read your “external battle” works. The two together would make a great gift!

    I love how you’re always so positive in your interviews.

  5. Rita Echols on March 13, 2021 at 10:03 am

    You have been an inspiration for me .I am 91 and writing a book called “Geriatric Odyssey” I doubt I will finish it but it begins when my husband died .

    I was 87 and my journey began. I was hoping to finish when we were once again allowed to visit my friends in assisted living but as of this date we cannot visit their rooms.

    Will order your book.

    Wow!! I sincerely hope you realize how much you inspire other writers. As I sit here at age 59 with my heart in my hands bleeding all over my laptop keyboard trying to finish my fourth attempt at writing the “Right” book, your interview landed in my life just when I needed it most! Thank you again just for being you and for sharing yourself with us through your great work. Blessings!

      Hi Steve,

      That interview was a great way to start the day – like others – I never tire of your saving message and I’m excited about reading ‘A Man at Arms.’

      I also believe that cats can teach us our true journey – my young Norwegian, Ragnar, did so last night – yeah I agree with the CBS lady – what happened to yours? Can you share?

      Best,

      Iain

  10. L R Gardner on March 16, 2021 at 7:05 am

    I really enjoyed the interview. The fraction of writers who receive large advances get such coast-to-coast coverage that it is impossible not to think successful writers just sit down and crank out another bestsellers.
    The idea of a fine writer who struggles is a whole ‘nother country.
    Meanwhile, a tweak. it is not “War of Art” that makes me laugh. That book scared the hell out of me. it is “Do the Work” which reminds me of the preposterous lengths one will go in order to avoid writing. Thanks again for your excruciating honesty.

  11. Hans Schiefelbein on March 16, 2021 at 1:43 pm

    This is great! Thanks for posting the video. War of Art has been a favorite of mine and those in my corner of the Internet for years… I know I should have read Legend of Bagger Vance years ago, so here’s my public declaration: it’s just been purchased and now on my list!

  12. Joe on March 17, 2021 at 7:53 am

    Nicely done on both coasts. I liked hearing Jeff make the point that “Some readers like his fiction, some like his War of Art-type nonfiction. I like both.”

    Charmed them all.

  13. Dom on March 22, 2021 at 8:40 am

    Was the cat comment from the reporter at the end actually a mis-reference of Blake Snyder’s “Save the Cat!” ?

    That said, I recently discovered Steve Pressfield’s work in my own writing journey and love The War of Art. Currently, reading Turning Pro. I’m into Stoicism – Marcus Aurelius and his Warrior Archetype is timeless and timely. Thank you for writing and sharing.
