Bruce Lee's daughter illuminates her father's most powerful life philosophies and how we can apply his teachings to our daily lives.

Empty your mind; be formless, shapeless like water

Bruce Lee is a cultural icon, world renowned for his martial arts and film legacy. But Lee was also a deeply philosophical thinker, believing that martial arts are more than just an exercise in physical discipline - they are a perfect metaphor for personal growth.

In Be Water, My Friend Shannon Lee shares previously untold stories from her father's life along with the concepts at the core of his teachings. Each chapter reveals a lesson from Bruce Lee, expanding on the foundation of his iconic 'be water' philosophy to reveal a path to an enlightened way of being.

This is an inspirational call to action to consider our lives with new eyes and a testament to Lee's unique power to ignite our imaginations and transform our lives.

Wow, I am impressed. I didn't expect this book to be so much of a self-help book. I chose it mainly because I love martial arts. I enjoy many aspects being discussed like your relationship to your teacher which Bruce Lee takes on a new perspective. Discussing competition, reacting to your sparring partner.
Shannon takes this to a different level and associates this technique to everyday life, how we react to people and situations. How we ideally can be empty, non-judgemental and try to live our best life.
