Any one who was ever inspired by Bruce Lee's words should buy this book.
It is a well put together little book that has all the old favorite words of wisdom along with many others. It is made up of photos of him throughout his life with one of his sayings on the opposite page.
I have had friends who aren't even into martial arts pick it up and couldn't stop reading all the great words of Bruce Lee.
Definitely a must buy for any Bruce Lee fan!

Great little book i keep it with me most of the time a good read any time and will only take you about 20 min to do so from cover to cover.a very smart book and Great gift idea..

This book is so amazing I had a urge for me to come back to amazon and write better review then before. This book has helped me with depression and with getting a lot of my life where it should be. I will not go in to great detail about it but I love this book and carry it around everywhere and read it everyday.

Bruce Lee wasn't just a great martial artist, he was also a great philosopher on life. This book touches on that greatly with inspirational and memorable quotes from him that are wonderful for brightening your perspective on life. It's a small book, but the content is enormous. If you're looking for something inspirational to read for yourself, or as a gift for another, you can't go wrong with this book. It's a wonderful little find.

Very nice to travel with so to keep up your insperation and to keep up living your complete life until the end.

This is really for either the hardcore Bruce Lee fan or someone who has an interest in his philosophy but not his martial arts or acting. It's put together in a hardcover binding with nice glossy pages in addition to one of those built-in bookmarks. It's much smaller than I anticipated, it's essentially a pocketbook. The layout and concept is very similar to Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching for those of you that have read it. There will be one page with a philosophical quote from Bruce Lee, and on the adjacent page there will be either a picture that corresponds with the meaning behind the quote or a picture of Lee himself. Everything in this book has been said by him in an interview, tv series, film, or written down in his notes. If you're an avid fan, chances are none of it will be new, however it is now nicely compiled in one place and makes for some nice light reading when you feel the need to get your mind off of things.

I would like to state that I ordered this book, and it's a wonderful book with useful knowledge and wonderful photographs of Bruce per page.

If Bruce Lee ever touched your life in any way- a good introduction (or even continuation/further exploration), of Him would be in this book. This gives a simple yet valuable insight into the psychie, philosophy and wisdom of Bruce Lee.

This book proves what an advanced spiritual and intellectual human being Bruce Lee was and what He left us that was larger than the Hollywood Screen. Bruce Lee could as well, I feel, have been anything He wanted. If you ever get this book, you will see just how talented He was in other areas as well, such as being a great artist as displayed in his drawings that are featured in the book. That is something to be proud of, and it's rare someone is this versatile and percise and excellent in all that they do.

This is a great keep sake truly compiled in love and to be used with serious contemplation with deep appreciation. Thanks to his daughter Shannon for this as well as the other persons involved in this book.

I recommend it greatly for any fan of Bruce Lee and to any person really. I'm glad I ordered this book.

If you loved Bruce Lee when he was alive and respected not only his physical abilities but also his mind, then you will like this book. It is inspirational, gives quick meaningful insight into his philosophy and way of life. Nice format for the quick thought provoking quotes for you to start the day. I recommend the book for not only Bruce Lee fans but for anyone looking for some wisdom.

I returned this book because it is crap. I say that it is crap for 2 reasons,

1) The layout is horrible, each quote takes up a whole page no matter how long it is, there is no set order, the quotes are completely random and each is followed by a stupid picture.

2) Plagiarism. There are numerous misattributed quotes that were not original Bruce lee thoughts but instead thoughts of others that Bruce lee had read.

Don't be impressed with 70 pg hardcover book. One page contained 7 words.
Written out this material amounts to maybe 8 pgs straight. If you want to read a quote and look at a nice picture of Bruce, you might think better of this purchase than I do. Nothing is organized or put together is a meaningful way to educate the reader on what exactly Bruce is communicating at a given point. There is no reference to when, why, where a particular nugget of wisdom was expounded. Instead of reading this book you would be better served by a google search of "JKD instructors" and then briefly internet-surf a few opening webpages and read random quotes lifted from Bruce. You'll experience the same thing without spending the cash.
