The Tao of Bruce Lee: A Martial Arts Memoir by Davis Miller

dsbookie's review against another edition

4.0

I was lucky enough to be able to read this book for one of my college courses regarding Bruce Lee. My professor was using both this biography and Bruce Thomas' biography to shed some light on Bruce Lee's life. I actually used your book as a reference for my research paper for the class. It was very interesting to see the differences and similarities in both this account and Thomas' about Lee's life. This book was actually very beneficial for when I had to write a research paper about Bruce Lee.

I enjoyed being able to see another side of Bruce Lee. Since most accounts only show him as being the bad ass martial artist he was, it was interesting to be able to see a softer and more human side to him rather than the mythic Bruce Lee that is so prevalent in society today.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about Bruce Lee and his life outside of the image we see today.

Half of the book is actually a biography on Bruce Lee. The other half is more of a biography of the author. Though initially turned off by reading a biography of someone I didn't know, I warmed to him and eventually cheered him on.

The book moved on, we look as Bruce Lee the legend to Bruce Lee the man. This book made me pause and think with some well-placed quotes and poems without lathering it on too thick.
