From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Very insightful read. It is made very clear in the beginning that this is more or less a journal of how Bruce lived his life, and the philosophies that he held and nothing more. I had been somewhat of a Bruce Lee fan throughout my life, and now I realize he really practiced what he preached."; "Thoroughly enjoyable, concise, and nuanced explorations into Bruce Lee's personal philosophies. This book remains mostly agnostic whilst intersecting harmoniously with eastern Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucianist schools of thought as well. Interesting, pragmatic, and valuable."; "Some good aphorisms to get the mind rolling a bit. I read this as a morning coffee inspiration book and did its job. There was some repetitions and I didn't resonate with it all but good tidbits in there. Was nice to get inside his mind. Time to watch some classic bruce lee kung fu movies now."
