The Warrior Within: The Philosophies of Bruce Lee (NTC SPORTS/FITNESS)

Please ignore the one star reviews of this book as it seems they were motivated by cognitive dissonance and a lack of interest. It is not a "violent" book, I have no idea where they are getting this impression. I totally understand why a Western philosopher may be offended as it's views are from an Eastern perspective (the only useful one). Also in response to these reviews: This book is not plagiarised from the work of Jiddu Krishnamurti - Bruce Lee was merely inspired by his work amongst many other thinkers, as we all are. It's a very well written book with short, straight-to-the-point chapters with powerful insights to the mind of Bruce Lee, a handful of other thinkers including Alan Watts and, of course, the auther himself.

If you want to truly understand Bruce Lee then this is the book to read!! I feel that even scientists can appreciate the knowledge in this book. I feel that JKD is the way forward for man!! When we realize our selves and harmonise our selves only then will we be ready for the stars and beyond. To sum it up waht Bruce Lee wants is for every individual to realize THIER potential. Man throughout the centrys are known to adapt, to adapt one must create, only then is true individuality realesed. I also recomend the striking thoughts and artist of life!

To say this book has changed my life may seem a little over the top but it really has. His philosophy on all aspects of life are amazing and make so much sense that you see life and the world in a different light. I definitely recommend this book if your looking for some insight into your place in this existince.

I am a huge Bruce lee Fan!! This book culminates all Bruce lees Philosophy's to an extraordinary high level of his study notes. So yes another 5/5 stars ✨ to this Amazing 😉 book.

It's a bit repetitive and I'd like Little to be a bit more objective about Bruce Lee (it's basically a book written by a fan)

An interesting and informative book on a side of Lee we may not all be privy to. A number of principals that are definitely intriguing and can be applied to ones own life.

Read half of it :) so far im very happy i got it ... i would however prefer if the writting was a little bit simpler... but im still very satisfied with it. If you enjoy asian filosophy i think you'll enjoy this side of Bruce Lee

A good book if you don't know much about Bruce Lee.

As someone who has been involved in numerous martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Krav Maga, MMA, Hanbo-Jutsu, Tanto-Jutsu, Kenjutsu, and Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics) for the last 7 decades I am quite familiar with the legendary Bruce Lee and the fighting method he developed called Jeet Kune Do (Way of the intercepting Fist). Even though I have read most of the books and articles by Bruce Lee over the years, but I had not read this 201 page soft cover book (The Warrior Within: The Philosophies of Bruce Lee to better understand the world around you and achieve a rewarding life by John Little) and when I saw it on Amazon for a bargain price I sent for it. I am also a student of Asian and warrior philosophy and much of the material in this book concerning Zen, Taoism and Bushido (way of the warrior) was a pleasant review for me; nevertheless, this book had some interesting and informative insights into Bruce’s life and family. This wonderful book is organized into three parts as it explains the deeper aspects of Bruce’s philosophical insights of how he looked as fighting and life in general. The first part (Seeing the totality) covers the true meaning of Gung Fu, emptying your cup, the ways of the world, on Yin/Yang, and running water. The second part focuses on (defeating adversity) bending to survive, relationships, racism, challenges and stress release. The final part (the warrior within) deals with Jeet Kune Do-the Quantum perspective, you are it, the art of fighting without fighting, lessons from a master’s son, signposts, the films of Bruce Lee, and in your own process. The appendixes section also contains important and interesting information you should read. In conclusion, this is a must read for anyone interested into the deeper philosophical foundations of Jeet Kune Do and living “the way of the warrior.” Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

…you may want to read from Bruce Lee. I found this rather interesting. At times maybe even helpful. If not for daily life, but at least during a decade of intense ITF Taekwon-Do.

The content of the book is amazing but the books cover is damaged

単にアクション映画の人気俳優ではなく、肉体的にも精神的にも道を究めようとし、極めつつあった彼の素晴らしさがよくわかる一冊です。 彼のファンなら必読です。

Nicely nerated.
