Be Water, My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee, Hardcover Book, By: Shannon Lee

A good book, ' John Milton once wrote, 'is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to life beyond life.' That is what we're talking about here. The beauty of this work goes beyond the clarity in which the subject is seen―it's also in the deep look you get within yourself, which, I suppose, is the hallmark of every profound book." ―Cal Fussman, New York Times bestselling author and host of Big Questions podcast "In Be Water, My Friend, Shannon Lee reveals her father's genius behind all the on-screen exploits. Through excerpts of his private writings and intimate stories of his personal life, she reveals his philosophies for mindful living. Best of all, she writes the way her father moved―in a way that is direct, poetic, and powerful. A wonderful guide to Bruce Lee's timeless insights." ―Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation "Look, I'm sorry that you can't be Bruce Lee. But that's okay, because you can become a better version of you the same way Bruce Lee did. And no one is better at walking you down that path than his daughter Shannon. The same clarity, vision, and life force that the world connected to when Bruce was on screen comes through Shannon. And these pages are filled with all that energy and more. Shannon is both the rightful inheritor of his legacy and the person who understands it best. We are lucky she is sharing this version―the most human version―of her father with us." ―W.
