Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens. ~The Shadow of the Wind

Free eBook Sponsored by General Electric

Do the WorkHave you heard of this book yet? or about the Domino Project with Seth Godin?

The latest book from bestselling author, Steven Pressfield, (The Legend of Bagger Vance, The War of Art); is being sponsored as a free eBook for a limited time thanks to the generous folks at General Electric!  I have already pre-ordered my copy of Do the Work, which is set to be released April 20th!

excerpt with Q&A with Steven Pressfield at Amazon:
 Do the Work is structured to take the reader from A to Z. If the reader has a project they want to start or complete, such as a new business they want to open or a book they want to write, Do the Work is designed to take them from starting to shipping to hitting all the predictable resistance points along the way. I know you’re familiar with these moments; The beginning, the middle, and all the moments in between just before you ship and then just after you ship.  Do the Work guides you from the start of the project and takes you all the way through.  It’s about getting off your behind and starting something. And Seth Godin writes about this, that once you start, you have to finish; you don’t get off the hook half way through. I recently got an email from a guy who said, "Help. I’m stuck." He was in a class and he had to write a screenplay and he was a quarter of the way through. Normally I would cheer him on, but just for fun, I gave him a little program to do; I put on my instructor voice and said, “Do this, do that, do this, do that.” It worked because right away he got over a couple speed bumps and took it all the way to the finish line. He loved it! I’d always been too shy to do that before, but I tried the assertive tone of voice and it really worked--he responded really well to it. So I thought, let me try that tone of voice in Do the Work.
