Greetings,
Let’s discuss "Be Water, My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee by his daughter, Shannon Lee, 240 pgs. I think Megan recommended this thoughtful book. I’m enjoying the audio book read by Shannon.
We’re still working off our 2024 list. I don’t know why Meetup didn’t email a reminder about our Tuesday meeting. I will try to send out a comment before our coming meeting if meetup fails to remind us again. Here are some reviews for the book:
"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
"Thematically arranged by life lessons, the text is filled with sage instruction on a variety of themes . . . An inspirational commemorative for Lee aficionados and those sharpening their personal-growth skills." ―Kirkus Reviews
"Bruce Lee's daughter breathes life into her father's enduring lessons and philosophies. 'Empty your mind,' as Lee would say, and let his words wash over you." ―Newsweek
"This inspired guide will remind any reader that, while one cannot control external circumstance, how one responds is always a choice." ―Publishers Weekly
