Synopsis
Bruce Lee was more than just a man of action - he was a man of words. A voracious reader, Lee studied text after text, taking meticulous notes to devise his theories both in fighting and in life strategy. For the first time in paperback, John Little, who was granted exclusive access to Lee's notebooks, presents Lee's writing, which outlines the techniques and philosophies Lee used to develop his personal philosophy and the fighting system of Jeet Kune Do.

Customer Reviews

Get Into the Mind of A Master.
If you are looking at this to see if it will help with your martial arts techniques, then you are coming at this from the wrong angle.These are quotes from Bruce Lee, to encourage you to think for yourself, and find peace and fulfillment in life. It covers goal setting, self actualisation, thinking for yourself and questioning everything.
"Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is specifcially your own",is a famous quote from Bruce Lee.There is a lot of "useful" in this great little book to absorb.

A book I will surely keep for the rest of my life...
This is probably one of the most useful, influencial and inspirational books I have ever read. I am constantly reading and re-reading it because of the amount of wisdom contained inside. This is a book I will surely keep for the rest of my life. There is just so much valuable information about life inside. I can't express how grateful I am for reading it...

Simply Brilliant.

Striking thoughts
This book was recommended to me by a friend and I found it to be perfect to dip into for quick bursts of inspiration. It isn't necessarily a martial arts book (although this is touched upon), but a book about living your life in general. Although many of these are ideas are not originally Bruce's, he was obviously moved by them and he does manage to represent them in a style of his own and in an accessible way. This has some great ideas whether you're a follower of Bruce's films or martial path or not.
