Growing up a 90-pound weakling tormented by bullies in the schoolyards of Kansas, young Matthew Polly dreamed of one day journeying to the Shaolin Temple in China to become the toughest fighter in the world, like Caine in his favorite 1970s TV series, Kung Fu. While in college, Matthew decided the time had come to pursue this quixotic dream before it was too late. Much to the dismay of his parents, he dropped out of Princeton to spend two years training with the legendary sect of monks who invented kung fu and Zen Buddhism.

Great story on culture
Revisado: 03-31-23
I enjoyed this book very much. It was filled with lots of lessons on life and cultural experiences. As with many people who walk the path of Martial Arts it is only a vessel in which we share with others that allow us to experience and express ourselves. This story does a great job of using Kung Fu as the backdrop and glue of the story.

Bruce Lee is a cultural icon, renowned the world over for his martial arts and film legacy. But Lee was also a deeply philosophical thinker, learning at an early age that martial arts are more than just an exercise in physical discipline - they are an apt metaphor for living a fully realized life. Now, in Be Water, My Friend, Lee’s daughter, Shannon, shares the concepts at the core of his philosophies, showing how they can serve as tools of personal growth and self-actualization.

Not quite what I was expecting
Revisado: 10-21-21
Overall it is good. This book explains Shannon Lee's view on her dad's philosophy. It outlines how she feels it helps her and how she uses her dad's philosophy to become the best version of herself. Having read some of her dad's philosophy in the past it was nice to hear how another individual has used it in their life. I am disappointed due to the fact that it lacked that great revolution. Also due to the nature of her relationship with Bruce it relied on hear say and her dad's writing.
