Steven Pressfield - Do the work review

    
                      "Do the work " is a book by best selling writer Steven pressfield. The book focuses on telling us that  success is not always mostly about having better ideas but also about actually doing the work and get our idea out.
                  I picked up this book as I heardquite a lot about Steven Pressfield's book "The war of art" and the contents of the book were being quoted by many writers.I have heard a lot of people talk about resistance which is something we face that causes us to procrastinate on the various projects and plans which we undertake. So having come across all the talk about resistance I was really excited to read this book..
