About this listen

A teacher is never a giver of truth—he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst. (Bruce Lee)

Within the chapters of Striking Thoughts, you will find the secrets of Bruce Lee's incredible success—as an actor, martial artist, and inspiration to the world. Consisting of eight sections, Striking Thoughts covers 72 topics and 825 aphorisms—from spirituality to personal liberation and from family life to filmmaking—all of which Bruce lived by.

His ideas helped energize his life and career and made it possible for him to live a happy and assured life, overcoming challenging obstacles with seeming ease. They also inspired his family, friends, students, and colleagues to achieve success in their own lives, and this personal collection will help you in your journey, too.

The sections include:

  • On First Principles—life, existence, time, and death
  • On Being Human—the mind, happiness, fear, and dreams
  • On Matters of Existence—health, love, marriage, raising children, ethics, racism, and adversity
  • On Achievement—work, goals, faith, success, money, and fame
  • On Art and Artists—art, filmmaking, and acting
  • On Personal Liberation—conditioning, Zen Buddhism, meditation, and freedom
  • On the Process of Becoming—self-actualization, self-help, self-expression, and growth
  • On Ultimate (Final) Principles—yin-yang, totality, Tao, and the truth

This audiobook is narrated by Peter Kim. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Okay

It wasn't bad. But it wasn't great either. I still would recommend listening to it for anyone interested in Bruce Lee or philosophy.

TOO MUCH TO TAKE IN...

simple words deliverd with passion.
need to read this multiple times.
great way to see personal growth...he challenges you to not just read/listen to the book, but to question it...as a result question yourself.

This listening intail advices of a lifework in living. Narrator sacrifice stating accomplishments from certain practices for guiding expressions. For instance, he list ideas with/to the listener.

Riveting and Remarkable

Definitely need to listen more than once. This was very well done with almost similar voice as Bruce Lee.
So many philosophical topics and discussions are conveyed in very simplistic language. Definitely what he represents. However, need to revisit and digest properly so that you can reap the benefits by consciously incorporating into daily life.
