From the publisher

"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 pages 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.

Sections include:

  • On First Principles--including life, existence, time, and death
  • On Being Human--including 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 Bruce Lee Book is part of the Bruce Lee Library which also features:
  • Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon
    • Bruce Lee: The Tao of Gung Fu
  • Bruce Lee: Artist of Life
  • Bruce Lee: Letters of the Dragon
  • Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body
  • Bruce Lee: Jeet Kune Do

First line

Life simply is. - Living exists when life lives through us - unhampered in its flow, for he is living is not conscious of living and, in this, is the life it lives.
