Book Description

August 2, 2005
"Don’t think – Feel!"

This is the wisdom that Bruce Lee impelled his students to follow. Even 30 years after his death, Bruce Lee remains a legend the world over. His writings and biographies continue to sell and his millions of fans worldwide are always eager for new and interesting information on him. This collection picks up where the popular Bruce Lee: Fighting Spirit left off. Comprised of a series of short, pithy selections including anecdotes, interviews, and short essays, the book reflects the many facets of a complex man with two distinctly different sides that were often in conflict. Bruce Lee, superstar and icon, the most exciting screen presence of his day, the most innovative martial artist of the modern era . . . and Bruce Lee, the flawed human and unfulfilled philosopher. In words and pictures, the book offers a reappraisal of Lee's tragic early death and insights into the underlying philosophy that made him a unique talent. Features 16 black and white photos.

2.0 out of 5 stars not as good as Bruce Lee fighting spirit., September 3, 2011
This review is from: Bruce Lee: Fighting Words (Paperback)
This books flaw is that its starts out with trivia from the bruce lee world, which was irrelevant to the theme of the book. The only reason i would give this book five stars is because the chapters toward the end were very deep and very contemplative and life enriching.For any body that liked the philosoghical part of this book get "Bruce Lee Fighting Spirit by Bruce Thomas". youll read it again and again for inspiration!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bruce lee : human, April 16, 2010
This review is from: Bruce Lee: Fighting Words (Paperback)
I read this some time ago not long after reading Fighting spirit. Its a sober and palpable read this book was. I liked the chapter on joe lewis. It put Bruce's feet on the ground and out the air of diety so many other books built around him.Thomas didnt dress this up. He portrayed the memory of Bruce as flawed and eccentric---like most of us. It made him accessible and you can appreciate Bruce as a man of plain hard work.
