Summary: Contemplating with the deep mind.
Review: After reading Tao of Jeet Kune Do , and absorbing some of the concepts and applying them to how I view the world and finding it changed my life for the better , I was hungry for more Bruce Lee philosophy. This book does an excellent job of interpreting Bruce's philosophies and is an excellent supplement to Tao of Jeet Kune Do. A fufilling and enlightening read which aims towards the core of Bruce's philosophies--helping a person develop their own philosophy.

Summary: An excellent means to learn about Bruce Lee's philosophy
Review: Coming from a background that includes a long-term interest in martial arts, Bruce Lee and philosophy, I had a hunch that a book that combined all these interests would be good value. I was not disappointed :) John Little has written a book that is easy to get involved in and helps the reader to understand the differences between Eastern and Western approaches to living a satisfying life. By using smallish sections within each chapter, he has created a book that is easy to pick up and read for a short time and yet still learn a lot. I particularly enjoyed discovering the contrasts between Bruce Lee's views and those expressed in the classic texts of Chinese philosophy, such as the Tao Te Ching and the writings of Chuang Tzu. In short, a most accessible and enlightening book about Bruce Lee's "way of no way".

Summary: Contemplating with the deep mind.
Review: Excellent book by John Little to capture the essence and philosophical thoughts of Bruce Lee. His explanation of the way Lee thought and lived through his own personal study of Chinese and Western philosophy is made very clear in this book. Not only does the author explain Lee's thinking, but also puts in layman's terms as to how you can apply these same principles in your own life. Great examples are given throughout the book as to how Lee used philosophy to realize his own personal growth both in his own life and that of his fighting art of Jeet Kune Do. After reading this book, one comes to learn that Lee wasn't only a great martial artist, but also an extremely intelligent man whose mind was very sharp and keen. Until this book, I was not interested in philosophy, but after reading this, I'm very much interested in it, especially Eastern philosophy and the way that it can enhance my life and those of others around me. Excellent book by all means!

Summary: Thoughtful, insightful, and succinct.
Review: For those of you who are drawn to the charisma of Bruce Lee that transcends physical skills, I highly recommend this book.
It is easy to see that John Little has a great deal of respect and gratitude for Lee. This book is a unique blend of Bruce Lee's thoughts, references from other philosophical sources, and realistic illustrations of how we, as readers, can understand and apply the teachings in our own process. I think we all find ourselves here (contemplating buying this book) because we are ready to read it. PS: If anyone knows how I can obtain a copy of the Mandarin version of the Big Boss, I would appreciate your information. Thanks!

Summary: Well written but old information
Review: I bought this book about 3 years ago. I couldn't help but notice a major contradiction in how John Little over emphasizes the value of analysis in western philosophy, yet he praises non dogmatic thought. Analysis is non dogmatic and that is why western philosophy utilizes it. This book is based on a lot of eastern philosophy, which in my opinion, is more dogmatic than not. Bruce Lee wasn't that intelligient, he was just well read. He was anti-external authoritive, meaning, a person should hold his self as his highest value. When you hold yourself above all other things, how do you expect to avoid being selfish and arrogant? The value placed on subjective experience towards finding truth is enormous. This book is light reading. Basically all Bruce Lee did was combine eastern philosophy with the humanistic perception in psychology. This book is a good synthesis of these two schools of thought. However, it is hardly ground breaking. John Little has done a good job of interpreting Bruce Lee's words and the book is well written. Bruce Lee was an unbelievably talented and intense martial artist. I will also be eternally grateful to him and John Little for introducing me to philosophy. And despite what I have said so far about the material found in the book, there are valuable insights to be found. This is why I have given it 3 stars and not less

Summary: Timeless
Review: I would like to thank the authors for presenting such useful information. A few things that really impacted me were: 1. Bruce Lee felt that to strike back to people who are aggressive shows weakness. 2. He really worked his stomach. I have worked out for years and once I read about his stomach work I felt the affects immediately. 3. I love his thoughts on stress managemnt. I always kind of knew when I ate junk food that it was somehow related to stress. Now that I practice stress reducing excercises, I eat less junk food and I have no desire to eat it. 4. I appreciate his philosophy on total health. Like I said, what I read has totally changed my ideas on a lot of things. Thank you for an awesome book!

Summary: pathological and sad
Review: Much of this book is plagiarized and recycled from the works of J Krishnamurti and other philosophers. That's not what I find so troubling about it, however. The saddest, most out of balance thing about this title is that it contorts Krishnamurti's writings to unabashedly promote demeaning, sociopathic violence among living, breathing human beings. That makes this a very disturbing book, indeed.
