Book excerpt: “Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself; do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.” —Bruce Lee Bruce Lee was a brand well before that became commonplace. Step into the Dragon’s mind and explore how he thought about business, goals, and life. The Bruce Lee Code focuses on the business strategies prevalent in Lee’s life and teachings that helped unlock his full potential. Bruce Lee’s attention to brand is a major reason why he continues to influence pop culture today. He was a pioneer, being one of the first Hollywood stars to start his own production company. To recharge America’s creative and entrepreneurial swagger, we need to reexamine Lee’s life and teachings. Although he died in 1973 at age thirty-two, Lee remains a global icon who continues to influence the contemporary world in ways both obvious and subtle. Lee was primarily known for his otherworldly martial arts skills and blockbuster movies such as Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury. But he was also a man of incredible vision, willpower, and intellectual curiosity whose brief career inspired highly successful projects in Hollywood, sports, comic books, video games, and fashion. In many ways, Lee resembled Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. Both men possessed remarkable self-assurance and a desire to disrupt the status quo. Jobs did not invent the computer, tablet, or MP3 player. Instead, Jobs’s genius was taking existing products and ideas and turning them into something better. Lee also did not hesitate to liberally borrow and emulate. He fused Eastern and Western ideas and techniques to make unique films that would appeal to worldwide audiences. He created his own unique style of martial arts and philosophies that drew upon a deep reservoir of historical and contemporary influences. This book draws upon Bruce Lee’s extensive writings, including letters, journals, and business documents, as well as interviews with those who knew him personally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the martial arts aspects according to the perspective Bruce Lee had on the combat, especially the effects of its reality. However, as the reader goes on with through the pages, he/she will notice that the combat is not a mere bodily disposition of the victorious and physical attitudes, but a matter of the own genesis in life. This books works as a guide to the understanding of the art, whose life only exists in the practice of its physical and mental action. The technical studies of the combative biomechanics presented in this book are meant as a way of informing the reader about the investigation perimeters and the personal clarification of the art in the martial arts. I will show through the content that follows, the existence of a code that Bruce Lee intended to leave us, one that provides the keys that open the door for a highly fruitful lucid and extremely enlightening life. The strength in which Bruce Lee lived his life in search of his personal development and the dictates of the existential philosophy, transcend his short period of life in the world. Impetuous and young, Lee built a legacy that resonates to the current days, not as something of his own, but as a view towards the world and the martial arts, one that had never been seen up until then. Through his path, Bruce Lee taught us how to acquire more knowledge over the practitioner's dilemmas in martial arts and its rational aspects, clearly described in the combative reality's perspective and the evidence of its effects. However, some crazy fuss took place after Bruce Lee's death, messing up with the form Jeet Kune Do should be analyzed and practiced. Those misunderstandings and misconceptions and the way they harmly influence the true comprehension of this philosophy will be elicited in this book.

Download or read book Marching Orders written by Bruce Lee and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “extraordinarily informed” account of how US cryptographers broke Japan’s Purple cipher to change the course of World War II (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Marching Orders tells the story of how the American military’s breaking of the Japanese diplomatic Purple codes during World War II led to the defeat of Nazi Germany and hastened the end of the devastating conflict. With unprecedented access to over one million pages of US Army documents and thousands of pages of top-secret messages dispatched to Tokyo from the Japanese embassy in Berlin, author Bruce Lee offers a series of fascinating revelations about pivotal moments in the war. Challenging conventional wisdom, Marching Orders demonstrates how an American invasion of Japan would have resulted in massive casualties for both forces. Lee presents a thrilling day-by-day chronicle of the difficult choices faced by the American military brain trust and how, aware of Japan’s adamant refusal to surrender, the United States made the fateful decision to drop nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hailed as “one of the most important books ever published on World War II” by Robert T. Crowley, an intelligence officer who later became a senior executive at the CIA, Marching Orders unveils the untold stories behind some of the Second World War’s most critical events, bringing them to vivid life. With this book, “many of the mysteries that have eluded historians since the end of the war are much clarified: the Pearl Harbor fiasco, D-Day, why the Americans let the Russians capture Berlin, and why the decision to drop the atomic bomb was made. This is the most significant publication about World War II since the recent series of books on the Ultra revelations” (Library Journal). It’s a story that, as historian Robin W. Winks said, “no one with the slightest interest in World War II or in the origins of the Cold War can afford to ignore.”

Download or read book Striking Distance written by Charles Russo and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1959, eighteen-year-old Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco, the city of his birth. Although the martial arts were widely unknown in America, Bruce encountered a robust fight culture in the Bay Area, populated with talented and trailblazing practitioners such as Lau Bun, Chinatown’s aging kung fu patriarch; Wally Jay, the innovative Hawaiian jujitsu master; and James Lee, the Oakland street fighter. Regarded by some as a brash loudmouth and by others as a dynamic visionary, Bruce spent his first few years back in America advocating for a modern approach to the martial arts, and showing little regard for the damaged egos left in his wake. The year of 1964 would be an eventful one for Bruce, in which he would broadcast his dissenting worldview before the first great international martial arts gathering, and then defend it by facing down Wong Jack Man—Chinatown’s young kung fu ace—in a legendary behind-closed-doors showdown. These events were a catalyst to the dawn of martial arts in America and a prelude to an icon. Based on over one hundred original interviews, Striking Distance chronicles Bruce Lee’s formative days amid the heated martial arts proving ground that thrived on San Francisco Bay in the early 1960s.
