"Bruce Lee's daughter illuminates her father's most powerful life philosophies-demonstrating how martial arts are a perfect metaphor for personal growth, and how we can practice those teachings every day. "Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless like water." Bruce Lee is a cultural icon, renowned the world over for his martial arts and film legacy. But Lee was also a deeply philosophical thinker, learning at an early age that martial arts are more than just an exercise in physical discipline-they are an apt metaphor for living a fully realized life. Now, in Be Water, My Friend, Lee's daughter Shannon shares the concepts at the core of his philosophies, showing how they can serve as tools of personal growth and self-actualization. Each chapter brings a lesson from Bruce Lee's teachings, expanding on the foundation of his iconic "be water" philosophy. Over the course of the book, we discover how being like water allows us to embody fluidity and naturalness in life, bringing us closer to our essential flowing nature and our ability to be powerful, self-expressed, and free. Through previously untold stories from her father's life and from her own journey in embodying these lessons, Shannon presents these philosophies in tangible, accessible ways. With Bruce Lee's words as a guide, she encourages readers to pursue their essential selves and apply these ideas and practices to their everyday lives-whether in learning new things, overcoming obstacles, or ultimately finding their true path. Be Water, My Friend is an inspirational invitation to us all, a gentle call to action to consider our lives with new eyes. It is also a testament to how one man's exploration and determination transcended time and place to ignite our imaginations-and to inspire many around the world to transform their lives"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

But two things captured my attention with this one. The first is the obvious one...Bruce Lee (and how is it that he'll have been gone 50 years in just over a month from now, on July 20, 2023?).
The second thing that captured me is the idea that I've heard connected with Lee many times, the "be water" method of approach to everything.
Are there times when Shannon Lee maybe stretches this analogy a bit thin? Sure. But overall, I found the ideas in this book, absolutely worthwhile. Like every self-help book, you take a few nuggets from the text that apply to you, and you try them on.
I think the main reason the advice in this particular book sticks with me a little more than most of the stuff I've seen peddled on the market is, I recognized many of my failings in the ideas presented here. I recognized where, in attempting to adopt some of the strategies, I could very likely be a nicer, calmer, less curmudgeonly asshole.
And hey, that's the goal, right? ( )
