5.0 out of 5 stars Truth will set you Free, February 17, 2001

By A Customer

Absorb what is useful is about finding out what works for you as an individual and absorbing it into your whole being. Bruce believed that absorbing what is useful is paramount to succeeding in the martial arts and life. This book is excellent.
