I can honestly say I found this book somewhat of a revelation. It's an extraordinary and very powerful experience to read Lee's honest reactions and thoughts on subjects ranging from, of course, the martial arts through to, among other topics, psychology, poetry and philosophy. The overriding impression of the man is of someone intent on honest self exploration. It was this core element of philosophy combined with self-discovery that struck a cord with me. For those more familiar with Lee and his work this book might not have as powerful an impact. However, it's still worth checking out. For novices like myself, I can only sing it's praises.

I am a lifelong Bruce fan and a Martial Artist, I would recommend this to not only martial artists but everyone as it does not deal with Martial Arts. It only uses them as a metaphor to convey Bruce's ethos as a man who dedicated his life to understanding. If you are a Bruce fan you will see from behind his eyes as the writings are not structured or contrived but a direct and compelling expression of his stream of consciousness. A mind, once stretched by a new awareness, can never return to it's original dimensions and once you have read this you will neve be the same.

This is definitely worth reading. An excellent insight into Bruce Lee's life, philosophy and personal thoughts. I never realised he was an accomplished poet too and he expresses himself so well. I strongly recommend it whether you are a martial artist or not - it really is for all readers.
