Bruce Lee Philosophy for a New Generation

11 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The first book I read on Martial Arts philosophy was ZEN IN THE MARTIAL ARTS by Joe Hyams. I have read or own nearly EVERY book on Bruce Lee since 1977, trained with many of his students (concepts and core), and have been a recognized Jeet Kune Do instructor since 2000. There has been little offer for martial arts mindset while most books are regurgitated material poorly opinionated.

Until this...

Shannon uses her personality and perspective with much care while conveying her father's philosophy and has taken the Bruce Lee brand in a direction that has been much needed. Her writing has actually cleared up many questions I have had over other author's and instructor's interpretations. I FINALLY understand a deeper meaning of finding the "cause of your ignorance" which today would be called "blind spots".

Ever since MMA has entered the scene martial arts have become thuggish with a lack of philosophy. This is a shame considering Bruce Lee invented it (look at the first scene in ENTER THE DRAGON and try changing my mind) and lived his life trying to convince others of the classical messes going on.

I'm hoping a younger generation of Martial Artists and those interested in philosophy in general pick up this book.

With a mind like water, and one-pointed concentrations, harmonize yin & yang, your nagual and tonal.

Concentration is the root of all the higher abilities.

Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.

It is not how much you have learned, but how much you have absorbed from what you have learned.

The best techniques are the simple ones executed right.

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.

For apratiṣṭhita Bruce Lee's quotes, above, are like a finger pointing at the moon...

The Light Towards Your Soul

22 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

There are really no words to really describe this book. This book had me turning every page and I could not out the book down.

Page after page is filled with the most beautiful teachings Bruce Lee has passed down. There are revelations that you WILL experience in reading this book.

As far as the approach of this book, it is written not as a guide but another way to look at life and how to really discover your true self.

As someone who struggles with PTSD this book showed me tools to overcome a lot of these limiting beliefs I may have. It helped me let those bad experiences simply just be a part of me and accept it.

I can go on and on about this book and how it points you into the direction of self discovery and shows you how to approach life's obstacles that it may throw at you.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, even if you read a lot of self help books, this is one right there next to The Four Agreements.

Excellent job, 10 out of 10.

I thought Shannon did a great job on this. She is very intelligent and passionate with telling a story that anyone who was interested in Bruce Lee would enjoy. I came away from reading this with a better outlook and appreciation on life. It’s a good read.

Lady of the Foothills

Interesting content, aside from constant familial references

30 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This would be an outstanding book if the reader were not subjected to constant references to "my father" and "I," throughout the entire book. The actual content involving Bruce Lee's studies into eastern philosophy and beliefs was very interesting. It was very hard having threads of thought broken by the writer's constant references to her father.
