Ratings and reviews

Love this book so much, just filled completely with the wisdom of Bruce Lee and full of all of his philosophy. Reading this has definitely given me a different perspective on things.

i use this like its my bible. if you want to master your self and discover meaning and purpose this book is the map to take you there!

I read this book the first time in 2016 and it has influenced me ever since, to varying degrees. Without it, I probably wouldn't be what I am today.
