The most authoritative biography of film legend Bruce Lee, who made martial arts a global phenomenon, bridged the divide between Eastern and Western cultures and smashed long-held stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans. Forty-five years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at 32, journalist and best-selling author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Summary
During his lifetime, legendary martial artist Bruce Lee formulated a complex personal philosophy - a synthesis of Eastern and Western ideals - that extolled the virtues of knowledge and total mastery of one's self. Most of his philosophical writings could be found only within the personal library of the Bruce Lee estate - until John Little was given permission to publish them for the wider world. The Warrior Within is the most comprehensive volume of these teachings, meant to help you apply Lee's philosophies to your own life. This unique guide reveals such life-affirming secrets as how to:
- See the totality of life and put things into perspective,
- Understand the concept of Yin and Yang,
- Defeat adversity by adapting to circumstances, and
- Tap into inner spiritual forces to help shape the future.
The Warrior Within is an engrossing and easy-to-understand guide to the little-explored world of Bruce Lee.

If You've Never Heard of Bruce Lee I guess Its OK
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The first thing I feel compelled to mention is that the narration could have been less grating if without the very annoying and poor quality Bruce Lee 'impression' or 'accent' but worse than this is the repetition of 'according to lee' and similar precursors to a 'Lee thought'.
However that was less painful than the assumption that the author (John Little) seems to me to write like he is the only person, other than Lee that has any idea or experience of (Chinese?) philosophy and an understanding of yin/yang etc. I personally found the general style of writings around the Bruce Lee quotes condescending and arrogant. I understand the reasoning and what John was trying to do and I may be a tad harsh as I have been a Bruce Lee fan for more than 30 years. But having absorbed what is useful (to me) about Lee's life, story and outlook I found this basic and without thought to target audience, which it would seem are people at least familiar with Bruce Lee the man, the myth.
Generally if you have NOT read Tao of JKD or any other works about Bruce then I guess this would perhaps be of inspiration and use in this work, however if you have been exposed to any of Bruce's philosophy/thoughts and/or video snippets then there is absolutely nothing new here and there is a lot of repetition.
If you’ve listened to books by John Little before, how does this one compare?
I've not listened to John's books on Audible before, but I have read most of them and they on the whole seemed better presented and though out.
How could the performance have been better?
No poor impressions of Bruce Lee - They were not required and diminished the narration and my experience.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Warrior Within?
Anything that wasn't a quote from Lee himself.
Any additional comments?
Buy the Tao of Jeet Kune Do and just read that instead.

Enjoyed it so much that I've ordered a hard copy!
An excellent testament to the avant-garde philosophy of not only an exceptional fighter but one whose mindset transcends his yet unmatched physical prowess. Told through the eyes of John Little, a diligent enquirer commissioned to share the erudite volumes of Bruce Lee with the masses and the multitudes. I Enjoyed it so much that I've ordered a hard copy and I'll most definitely be reading the remainder of the books that have been authorized by the Bruce Lee Estate.

Philosophies of Bruce Lee!
I enjoyed listening to the philosophies of Bruce Lee and to get an insight into his thought process although if I'm being honest a lot of it went over my head. I hope upon further listenings I'll become more in tune with his understanding of the Yin Yang and many other lessons which are here to be learned.

Narrator Blows the Entire Book (honest opinion)
The teachings and philosophies of this legendary man, Bruce Lee, are intrinsically down to earth! One of my few heroes for sure.
I simply can not give this book 5 stars, or even 4 stars, in fact the only reason why I gave it 3 is because I know the material is good.
But, I just can't get over the way the narrator narrates the book! It's as if he speaks in a way that completely makes you day dream, and you have to constantly fight for your attention of the book (maybe in some weird way that's what they wanted?). It is just so un-engaging that it bothers me such a great man's philosophies was read by this guy. The only part I enjoyed is he changes his voice to "sound" like Bruce Lee. Other than that, different narrator and it'd be a 5 star.

Fake Chinese accent during quoting Bruce Lee
I don't understand why the narrator would use a fake Chinese accent when he quoted Bruce Lee it would have been better for him to speak in his natural language it became so annoying and so difficult to even understand what he was saying that I could no longer finished the book and returned it. using a fake accent may be appropriate for a fictional book but not for this one. Boo...

the narrator did a good job.
The narrator did a good job. I got turned off when Bruce didnt believe in God. That's just my opinion. It was good when it came to discipline and focus though. I usually like books that are more inspirational. This didnt move me too much, but I'm in sales and have been around very inspirational people so I have my bar set high.
