A couple of things, first this book was some what reduntant in some areas. There is an articale that Bruce Lee had written and seven of the drafts are in the book. I would have been happy with just the final one but I guess they wanted to show his thought process and how it progressed. I was surprised to learn that Bruce Lee wrote poetry. Some of his poems are inclueded. Over all I enjoyed this book, it gives readers a window into Bruce Lee's philosophy.
The book was odd in how it was laid out in that it had drafts of the same essays written by bruce lee repeated like 3 or 4 times showing slight changes he made to his drafts over time. If you cut out the drafts of the same essay, this book would have been half the size. Besides that, Bruce Lee is the man. This gives you a glimpse of the mind and work ethic that made the star.

anyone who has approached life as a GIANT ART PROJECT will appreciate this book. The content of this book is formulated from journals bruce lee kept throughout his life regarding the essence of the creative experience, and how one comes to apply the wisdom gained during the creative process. Once applied to any craft chosen by an individual comprimising the integrity of the individuals vision must be avoided.

Not as focused or "quote a day"-able as Striking Thoughts, but it contains mostly the same information presented in whole-essay format. Also include are poetry and correspondence. It's an interesting read and worth checking out.
Bruce Lee was more than martial artist, he was deep into philosophy. His take on the mixture of the two, is portrayed here, and is thought provoking. Having segwayed into his art, Jeet Kune Do, I enjoy reading about his life.

If you're a martial artist, this is essential; especially Lee's essays on Gung fu.
