Synopsis

A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst. (Bruce Lee) Within the chapters of Striking Thoughts, you will find the secrets of Bruce Lee's incredible success - as an actor, martial artist, and inspiration to the world. Consisting of eight sections, Striking Thoughts covers 72 topics and 825 aphorisms - from spirituality to personal liberation and from family life to filmmaking - all of which Bruce lived by. His ideas helped energize his life and career and made it possible for him to live a happy and assured life, overcoming challenging obstacles with seeming ease. They also inspired his family, friends, students, and colleagues to achieve success in their own lives, and this personal collection will help you in your journey, too. The sections include: On First Principles - life, existence, time, and death On Being Human - the mind, happiness, fear, and dreams On Matters of Existence - health, love, marriage, raising children, ethics, racism, and adversity On Achievement - work, goals, faith, success, money, and fame On Art and Artists - art, filmmaking, and acting On Personal Liberation - conditioning, Zen Buddhism, meditation, and freedom On the Process of Becoming - self-actualization, self-help, self-expression, and growth On Ultimate (Final) Principles - yin-yang, totality, Tao, and the truth This audiobook is narrated by Peter Kim. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2016 Bruce Lee Enterprises, LLC (P)

About Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee, the editor of David Garrow's Pulitzer Prize-winning Bearing the Cross and coauthor with Henry Clausen of Pearl Harbor: Final Judgement, has analyzed recently declassified Magic codes (Japanese secret crypts) and U.S. Army Intelligence documents. The result is the most complete history available of American code-breaking activity and its consequences during World War II. Lee shows convincingly how these daily decrypts influenced Generals Marshall and Eisenhower in their strategic prosecution of the war.

Goodreads review by Geraint on May 18, 2009

If you were to say "What springs to mind when you think of Bruce Lee?", most people would talk about martial arts or his untimely death. What a lot of people don't know, is that Bruce Lee was as much of a Philosopher as he was a Martial Artist, or a movie star. Indeed, his degree in America was on P......more
