Named one of TIME magazines 100 Greatest Men of the Century, Bruce Lees impact and influence has only grown since his untimely death in 1973. Part of the seven-volume Bruce Lee Library, this installment of the famed martial artists private notebooks allows his legions of fans to learn more about the man whose groundbreaking action films and martial arts training methods sparked a worldwide interest in the Asian martial arts.
Bruce Lee Artist of Life explores the development of Lees thoughts about Gung Fu (Kung Fu), philosophy, psychology, poetry, Jeet Kune Do, acting, and self-knowledge. Edited by John Little, a leading authority on Lees life and work, the book includes a selection of letters that eloquently demonstrate how Lee incorporated his thought into actions and provided advice to others.
Although Lee rose to stardom through his physical prowess and practice of jeet kune do--the system of fighting he founded--Lee was also a voracious and engaged reader who wrote extensively, synthesizing Eastern and Western thought into a unique personal philosophy of self-discovery. Martial arts practitioners and fans alike eagerly anticipate each new volume of the Library and its trove of rare letters, essays, and poems for the light it sheds on this legendary figure.

- Bruce Lee: Striking Thoughts
- Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon
- Bruce Lee: The Tao of Gung Fu
- Bruce Lee: Letters of the Dragon
- Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body

name only a handful of people who
have exerted such a life-changing
inspiration, a teacher or a friend, a writer or a figure from history.
Undoubtedly, because you have picked up this book, you consider
that Bruce Lee may be one of those rare individuals who has
profoundly impacted your life.
what it would have been had I not met Bruce on that momentous
day in 1963. I am grateful for the nine years of marriage that
I had the privilege of sharing with this rare and gifted individual.
In addition to the adventure of living with a thoroughly energizing
person and the joy of creating a family with him, I learned a great
deal from Bruce which has guided me through all the years since
he left.
plished in his short life, I am drawn to the idea that the energy
of the soul is never extinguished with the passing of the physical
body. Even as a young man, Bruce often described a mysterious
power within him that motivated the paths he chose in his life
time. I find it to be an exceptional trait that Bruce was able to
recognize and value the mysterious gift that burned within him. He
knew instinctively that his life had purpose, and even as he allowed
directed his self-will toward the attainment of his visions.
that makes the difference between people, it is the way one chooses
to react to those circumstances that tests the mettle of a life well
lived. Tracing the dominant patterns in Bruces life illustrates the
crucial points of choice, and, perhaps, the guidance of the mysterious
power which directed his path. It was not an accident that Bruce
began the study of gung fu under Master Yip Man, who instilled
in him the greater meaning of martial art beyond the physical.
It was not happenstance that prompted Bruce to study philosophy
at the University of Washington, but the desire to infuse the spirit
of philosophy into martial art. It was not by chance that, in crafting
his acting skills, Bruce refused the path of the image-makers and,
instead, worked to expose and express his true self. And, always,
the choice of continuing self-education through voracious reading
and prolific writing led Bruce down the path of expanding and
broadening his potential.
opportunity to let a fact or a situation teach him more about
himself. As a scholar, he was able to turn this intellectual learning
inward and make it a tool for self-cultivation. As a philosopher,
he was able to apply specific principles of his art to the broader
endeavor of living life as a real human being.
the ability to communicate his learning process at the same time
he was internalizing or living it. Whether he was teaching, acting,
writing, or speaking, Bruce was able to reveal his own personal
process of self-discovery. As he would have said, in his martial
art and through the medium of film he was simply and honestly
expressing himself. Superficially, this could be called charisma,
but on a more profound level this ability to bare the soul should
be called artistry. Just as Michelangelo chipped away at a block
of marble to reveal David, so did Bruce peel away the layers of his
inner soul to expose his true self to the world.
you see Bruce on the screen? Is it this, then, this peeling process,
that sets Bruce apart from other martial artists and actors? For
is the same man we knew in real life. He was bigger than life in all
wayson and off the screen.
it is hardly necessary for me to expound upon his thoughts. I simply
