About the Book:

Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work with this follow-up to the bestseller The War of Art.

In Turning Pro author Steven Pressfield navigates the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice.

Turning Pro Is Free, But It's Not Easy: When we turn pro, we give up a life that we may have become extremely comfortable with. We give up a self that 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 interior 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.
