Customer Reviews

Here and Now.
I can honestly say I found this book somewhat of a revelation. It's an extraordinary and very powerful experience to read Lee's honest reactions and thoughts on subjects ranging from, of course, the martial arts through to, among other topics, psychology, poetry and philosophy. The overriding impression of the man is of someone intent on honest self exploration. It was this core element of philosophy combined with self-discovery that struck a cord with me. For those more familiar with Lee and his work this book might not have as powerful an impact. However, it's still worth checking out. For novices like myself, I can only sing it's praises.

Artist of Life
I'am a very big fan of Bruce Lee and found this book to be very interesting, but the more I read through the book the more I realised it was repeting. It was a good read but could have been better.

Bruce Lee - Artist of Life
This is definitely worth reading. An excellent insight into Bruce Lee's life, philosophy and personal thoughts. I never realised he was an accomplished poet too and he expresses himself so well. I strongly recommend it whether you are a martial artist or not - it really is for all readers.
