This Book Is Great 
2009-03-10 - I bought this book from the bookstore, after reading about all the positive reviews. I have a growing collection of martial arts books, and I thought that this book would be a great addition. And it is! I don't regret buying this book, because it makes you think about life more than ever before. Bruce Lee is great at inspiring and changing lives, he sure changed mine I can tell you that.
Great book
2009-03-05 - Bruce was incredibly wise beyond his time and years. This is worth reading for anyone. Go through with a piece of paper next to you and write down the pieces that resonate with you. I have a feeling that when i do this again in a few years many different pieces will resonate with me.
Jeet Kune Do for Daily Living 
2008-09-19 - 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 
2008-07-28 - 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.
