Bestselling author Steven Pressfield joins Oprah Winfrey at her Maui retreat for an inspiring conversation on breaking down the barriers that keep us from realizing our purpose in the world. For anyone who has ever felt “stuck,” Pressfield offers practical insights he gained from his own struggles attempting to write his first novel – which went on to become a bestselling book and Hollywood feature film The Legend of Baggar Vance.
As he describes in his book “The War of Art,” Pressfield believes we all have our own “unique creative genius.” But the internal force that often keeps us from expressing it is what he calls “resistance.” Whether you want to change careers, run a marathon, write the great American novel or be an entrepreneur, Pressfield’s advice can help all of us express our deepest yearnings from the inside out.
Plus, in a new Super Soul original short film, an Oregon-based illustrator named Katie Daisy describes how nature inspires and informs the colorful canvas of her life.
