I found this book interesting, especially
the 12 pages of book titles attributed to being
in Bruce Lee's "library".

Really gives a snap shot of Bruce Lee's thoughts by understanding
what he read and his thought processes.

Bruce made it very clear that in the end individual
expression, self knowledge and a journey of questioning
was the path he wished those who wanted to follow his
path to follow.

We are all on that path (journey of life) and it is
different for each of us.

This book was put together from different essays and interviews the author, James Bishop, wrote over the period of several years. Bruce Lee was also a philosoper, or better said: someone who occupied himself with Philosophy. There are many interesting insights to be found in this book about the much neglected philosophical side of Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do. I found the chapter on Bruce Lee and Gnostic Christianity and the interview with Bruce Lee historian John Litle particularly informative. The list of books Bruce Lee owned is unique.

Some facts are repeated several times. For instance: the author is of Irish ancestry and praises the work of a JKD sifu in bringing Catholics and Protestants together in war torn Ireland. This is something very positive but doesn't have to be repeated throughout the book. Still, this a very worthwhile purchase for any Bruce Lee enthousiast. Walk on!

You must read this one for yourself. Absolutely fascinating and enlightening. You will learn things about Bruce Lee that you never knew and a whole new world of philosophy and ways of thinking will open up for you.

I will say that the dynamic becoming Brucelee book is a good book on BL the Brucelee book called understanding jkd by Jason p Korol is one of the best!books out good price also.
