Marathon a Novel

The War of Art

By Steven Pressfield

5 stars

Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art isn’t just a book it’s an alarm clock under your pillow. It reminds me that inevitably the greatest battle we fight is internal: against Resistance, that insidious force keeping us from our true potential. Pressfield’s message is clear just show up, do the work, and trust the plan. Art isn’t about waiting for lightning; it’s about building the storm through discipline. The lesson? Your calling matters. Lean into discomfort, embrace the grind, and create from a place of truth. Transformation begins when you begin.

Myanmar

By Noah Gil-Smith

4 stars

Myanmar by Noah Gil-Smith is a vibrant and insightful look at a country full of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. The writing feels alive, painting scenes that remind you of Myanmar for yourself. Gil-Smith captures the spirit of everyday life with warmth and detail, offering readers a genuine sense of connection. What makes this book even more special is that it was written before the latest sad and disturbing military coup, reflecting a time of hope and possibility. It’s an inspiring read that celebrates resilience and beauty.
