Bruce Lee was more than a movie star or a martial artist. For many people, he was a living example of the incredible things a person can accomplish through dedication, perseverance and sheer force of will. In the 33 years before his untimely death, Bruce Lee created new systems of fighting, and became an international film star, television personality, philosopher and cultural icon in the process. This inspirational guide presents a carefully curated selection of Bruce Lee photos, insights, stories, anecdotes and ephemera. It distills the iconic fighter's approach to making the most out of life into a beautifully bound book that will be treasured by Bruce Lee fans, as well as any reader looking for an inspired approach to living a richer, more fulfilling existence.
