About the book
Steven Pressfield calls it a too close to true novel: a half-invented origin story for Resistance, the force his book The War of Art blames for keeping people from their life's work. The hero is Pressfield himself in high-crime 1970s New York, driving a cab, tending bar and finishing a third unpublishable novel in a row. A job tailing his boss's straying wife then pulls him into an underworld saga. The story mixes fact and fiction and doubles as a writer's coming-of-age tale.
Seth Godin said it is built like a Swiss watch and called it a master class in getting out of one's own way to write a book that works.

The Knowledge, Steve Pressfield's new book, is put together like a Swiss watch. Every single word, every scene... it's a master class in what it means to get out of your own way and write a book that works. I am walking around the house, unable to put it down.
