Publisher's Summary

During his lifetime, legendary martial artist Bruce Lee formulated a complex personal philosophy - a synthesis of Eastern and Western ideals - that extolled the virtues of knowledge and total mastery of one's self. Most of his philosophical writings could be found only within the personal library of the Bruce Lee estate - until John Little was given permission to publish them for the wider world. The Warrior Within is the most comprehensive volume of these teachings, meant to help you apply Lee's philosophies to your own life. This unique guide reveals such life-affirming secrets as how to:

  • See the totality of life and put things into perspective,
  • Understand the concept of Yin and Yang,
  • Defeat adversity by adapting to circumstances, and
  • Tap into inner spiritual forces to help shape the future.

The Warrior Within is an engrossing and easy-to-understand guide to the little-explored world of Bruce Lee.

Great book.

Chapter six the Jeff story is clearly before the internet, unfortunately we HAVE to think that way these days, for our mental health and to not argue ceaselessly on the internet.

The best philosophy one can follow for living free

Help me a lot in my most desperate time.
To live happy with oneself and others, everybody should at least read or listen to what Bruce Lee has to say about life, relationships and the struggles that we all face in our life. That was a lifesaver for me. I will try to be more like him in my everyday life.

Narrator Blows the Entire Book (honest opinion)

The teachings and philosophies of this legendary man, Bruce Lee, are intrinsically down to earth! One of my few heroes for sure.

I simply can not give this book 5 stars, or even 4 stars, in fact the only reason why I gave it 3 is because I know the material is good.
But, I just can't get over the way the narrator narrates the book! It's as if he speaks in a way that completely makes you day dream, and you have to constantly fight for your attention of the book (maybe in some weird way that's what they wanted?). It is just so un-engaging that it bothers me such a great man's philosophies was read by this guy. The only part I enjoyed is he changes his voice to "sound" like Bruce Lee. Other than that, different narrator and it'd be a 5 star.

Fake Chinese accent during quoting Bruce Lee

I don't understand why the narrator would use a fake Chinese accent when he quoted Bruce Lee it would have been better for him to speak in his natural language it became so annoying and so difficult to even understand what he was saying that I could no longer finished the book and returned it. using a fake accent may be appropriate for a fictional book but not for this one. Boo...

Enter the mind of Bruce Lee

This is a must for any martial artist or Bruce Lee fan alike. The reader does a fantastic job of imitating Bruce Lee's voice.

Great book, terrible performance

Why with the fake Chinese accent?!? Makes no sense, caught me off guard and made it borderline unbearable to listen to. Cringed every time.

Fantastic book, just terrible performance.
