I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1943 to a Navy father and mother.
I graduated from Duke University in 1965.
In January of 1966, when I was on the bus leaving Parris Island as a freshly-minted Marine, I looked back and thought there was at least one good thing about this departure. "No matter what happens to me for the rest of my life, no one can ever send me back to this freakin' place again."
Forty years later, to my surprise and gratification, I am far more closely bound to the young men of the Marine Corps and to all other dirt-eating, ground-pounding outfits than I could ever have imagined.

To start off, I genuinely love Steven Pressfield's work. The War of Art changed how I approach many things in my life with the realisation of the existence of 'The Resistance'. Many of his other books (including some of his novels) really struck a chord with me, including his biography Govt. Cheese, which is a real inspiration as I reach middle age, trying to accomplish things in my life that seem far away.
This is all to say, I am the target audience for this book, if ever there was one. And, while I did enjoy is to an extent, I think it could have been more. While I am an aspiring writer, I don't think people aspiring in other fields will get anything out of whole sections of the book. Which, I suppose, is the danger of these types of page-a-day affairs. If there is an overarching theme for a few days/weeks, you have to wait days/weeks to get through them, and back to something that is more relevant. You could of course skip them, but this seems to go against the spirit in which these book
