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.

Short and a bit disjointed at times. But on point and still insightful. Worth a read and to keep on hand if you find yourself slipping into old habits.

I love how succinctly this book describes what so many creatives struggle to understand and transcend (and many never do). This book cuts to the chase and does so with style, grace and depth. Steven's explanation of the connection between art and addiction is on point and brought me a greater sense of understanding and compassion for some of the addicts in my life who have so much talent, yet are stuck in self-destructive loops.

It has helped inspire me to show up for my purpose more consistently and embrace the long term game of being a creative for life.

I highly recommend this book to entrepreneurs, changemakers, truthseekers, artists and visionaries out there who battle with self-doubt and feel at times like throwing in the towel on their dreams. If you let it sink in and apply the practice, it will help you!

The writing is ironically a bit unpro but basically nails how you have to think to achieve what you want to achieve

Uma ótima complementação para A Guerra da Arte

Reviewed in Brazil on 21 December 2020

Segundo livro que leio do autor e posso dizer que é um escritor fantástico, bem simples direto ao ponto e com orientações práticas.

Neste livro o autor procura deixar claro um conceito que iniciou em seu outro livro "A guerra da arte" a ideia de se tornar um Profissional. Segundo ele ao se tornar um profissional você consegue realizar seu trabalho de uma forma completa e sem ficar preso a procrastinação ou preguiça. Ao longo do livro o autor expões diversas ideias práticas para você se tornar um profissional.

Recomendo este livro principalmente para trabalhadores do conhecimento, escritores, pois mostra os passos necessários para que sua arte chegue ao mundo. Também recomendo para todos aqueles que querem desenvolver sua carreira e ter mais produtividade no dia a dia.

Excelente libro para cualquiera que quiere encontrarse a sí mismo a través de la batalla de su trabajo (ya sean artistas, científicos, músicos, cualquier profesión en la que hay que darle algo al mundo --idealmente, todas). Muy recomendable, si realmente quieres hacer lo que sea por cambiar y volverte pro.
