Jeet Kune Do for Daily Living September 19, 2008
Stone Cold Nuts (Germany)
An amazing little book that reveals much of Lee's oriental and occidental philosophical roots as well as his own original thinking on a wide range of topics. To me, the book seemed to represent Lee writing for his children's benefit, in that it has the flavor of a book a father might want to leave behind for his son. That style proves an excellent vehicle for Lee's consistently thought-provoking maxims and tightly written guidance for self-improvement. This isn't about martial arts, but about the art of life. I truly think this book was worth the money and that I'll find myself returning to it, especially since Lee efficiently organized his "Thoughts" into useful groupings, such as Adversity, Adaptability, Motivation, Goals, Faith, Love, Freedom, Marriage, and so on. A great book to spur some serious reflection, but also a tool for discovering your individual path to superior living. So good, I purchased a second copy for my daughter.
 Boring and cluttered with no structure July 28, 2008
Mr. P. Wilkinson (Tasmania, AUS)
I bought this book because I respect Bruce Lee as a person and was interested in his thoughts on life. What I got was page after page of cluttered philosophical quotes. And that was it. I expected some stories of Bruce Lee's past that taught him important lessons but after reading page after page of no-stop small snippets, I could not remember a thing after a few pages. You read 1 page then get to the next page and forget the previous page. I can only recommend this book for someone who is simply looking for a philosophical quote for a piece of work or project.

Firstly keep in mind this book has practically NOTHING TO DO WITH FIGHTING WHATSOEVER. It is more a mixture of anchient chinese wisdom mixed with Bruce Lee's personal insight. It is very insightful at that and it sure does get you pondering.
From what i hear alot of Bruce Lee fans barely know or even care about his fighting expertise, they are more into the intellectual and wise side of him. If you are one of those people or if your into chinese wisdom then you will love this.

I love Bruce Lee, but I couldnt get into this book! I cant honestly tell you to read it or not, because I havent! I bought it here at Amazon and gave it away a month later! Watch "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", thats a classic!

John W. Ellis II (Fairfield, CA)
ANYthing about Bruce Lee is something I'm interested in. The title is superb and right on target. Master Lee's wisdom is truly "striking" in this compilation of work. He was a philosophy major at the University of Washington. His personal insights must have impressed his teachers there! I know they have always impressed me. His zeal for life and enthusiasm at living it are characteristics to be admired and sought by anyone in any situation. This book demonstrates Bruce as more than a fitness expert, more than a physical perfectionist, more than an incredible martial artist, more than an actor. Bruce as a deep thinker, an emotional man, a caring and loving person... these are things NOT to be overlooked in the true Master of the Modern Age... Bruce Lee... a Master of Life.
