Stop Getting in Your Own Way | The War of Art Explained

Welcome to Season 2 of the Type Thursday Book Club, a weekly conversation on books exploring typography, design, and the ideas that shape our creative practice. Hosted by Thomas Jockin (Founder of Type Thursday), Matheo Cadena (Former Chapter Lead, Type Thursday Los Angeles), and Michael Mondragon (Former Chapter Lead, Type Thursday Phoenix) This livestream brings together community leaders from across the Type Thursday network to read, reflect, and discuss influential design books and texts. Each session uses the selected reading as a starting point for open dialogue, practical insights, and real-world application. What keeps so many of us from doing what we long to do? Why is there a naysayer within? How can we avoid the roadblocks of any creative endeavor, whether starting a dream business venture, writing a novel, or painting a masterpiece? Best-selling novelist Steven Pressfield identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success. ‘The War of Art’ emphasizes the resolve needed to recognize and overcome the obstacles of ambition, and it shows how to reach the highest level of creative discipline. Whether you’ve read every page or are just curious about the topic, you are invited to listen in, ask questions, and engage with the ideas alongside fellow designers, educators, students, and type lovers. #typography #bookclub #livestream
