To watch Bruce Lee on film is an amazing experience. Those who have read Tao of Jeet Kune Do, however, know that Lee's prose can also be exhilarating. This praiseworthy and enduring bestseller (mainly written over six months when Lee was bedridden with back problems) compiles philisophical aphorisms, explanations on technique, and sketches by the master himself.

Book Description

This is Bruce Lee's treatise on his martial art, jeet kune do. This international best seller includes the philosophy of jeet kune do, mental and physical training, martial qualities, attack, and strategy. BEST SELLER!

5 out of 5 stars mma + streetfighters -read this........2007-10-06

no style is new---
This book shows the research of Bruce lee's personally preferred fighting methods. it is of course incomplete. Covers modern boxing, trapping, kicking and yes even grappling. As well as his philosophy. The JKD stance worked for Bruce, same as a square stance works for Bas (book does not cover square stance). Will it work for you? Try it and see. P.S. You will also notice the corkscrew punch is the same punch employed by fedor and liddell. Bruce didn't invent the punch, but he used it.
--- no style is better.

Nice reading about Bruce Lee's philosophy in fighting methods and life in general.

5 out of 5 stars The Master.......2007-10-03

OPEN YOUR MIND, be a better person.

This book has
Instructions not how to fight, but how to be a better person.
There will always be a "master" "grandmaster" whatever.....
Those are not Masters in my definition.

A master is one who knows and who can teach,
and share his teaching fully.
This book doesn't have all of Bruce Lee's thoughts, and philosophy.
But it is better than nothing.

I took 6 years of Kung Fu, and my Sifu does not have an open mind.
Doesn't teach the philosophy, the reasons, how to be better.

The knowledge from this book will open your mind, and make you a wiser
person. (but you must be willing to be ready as a student.)

If your teacher, Sifu, Sensei, is not reading this, or not teaching
you how to be better -
You need to read this.


Rule 1 in life is learn,
Rule 2 is become better.

This book helps.
Bruce Lee the Master - he teaches us here.

Yes we have to pay for education.

I saw his funeral, of what the Hong Kong TV news was broadcasting
back as it happened. Never understood the loss of this society until now.

                  Book Description

                  Is commercialization the mainspring of modernity? Do modern commercial forms represent an end state of social development--the "end of history"? Reflections on Commercial Life, an anthology of writings from the ancient Greeks to contemporary thinkers, poses these and other similar questions. It provides students, scholars, and general readers an opportunity to develop a more self- conscious and critical relationship to commercial life, as it challenges the inattention of mainstream economics to the social forms that make up commercial life, such as money,the commodity, wage-labor, and capital.

                  Selections are drawn from seminal works of high intellectual and literary quality. Through an inquiry into history, nature, and outcomes, Reflections on Commercial Life is an important anthology that offers the opportunity to explore, as never before, alternatives to modern commercial life.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of human arrival at commerce.......2001-04-05

                  Commerce IS Western society and has been since our Puritan founders disclosed divinity in the ethos: work hard. From Calvinism, we have developed the Gila Monster (as John Steinbeck puts it) called capitalism, and now it develops and controls us, dollar for dollar.

                  Patrick Murray gives us a guided tour of commercial life via classical and contemporary texts: Aristotle reminds us of the purpose of money in commercial exchanges as well as our contradiction in the form of usury (using money to "breed" money, collect interest). Aquinas allows us refuge from usurious sin by examining consumable forms of capital (money) and non-consumable forms of capital (like an apartment for rent). Then, there's John Locke's labor and Invisible Hand, David Hume's luxury, and probably most importantly, Karl Marx's Capital.

                  After Marx, the book takes an interesting shift into Weber's "spirit of capitalism," Bataille's examination of gifts, Weil's "bigness," and others.

                  This is one of the most important books I have ever read. The social form peculiar to commercial society is, like language, so close to us that we often can't see it. Even recommending this book, I am asking you to participate in a commercial exchange: you SELL your labor power to your employer; "they" give you a wage and keep the excess value you've produced; you BUY this book, read it, and suddenly understand how it all works.

                  Book Description

                  Fishermen exist as relics, the last hunter-gatherers among us. Their boats, crammed with ropes and nets, carry the mystique of a near-forgotten world ruled by the elements. This is the story of Bernard Raynes, one of Maine's last independent commercial fishermen. The author, now an accomplished writer, was once Raynes's apprentice — then a young man with no experience who came to Maine with a dream of working on a boat.

                  In the early 1980s, these two men shared some of the fishing industry’s best years. But their world changed. Author Paul Molyneaux discusses the factors — personal and political, environmental and economic — that led to the decline of New England fishing. While Raynes still hangs on, thanks to a philosophy of hard work, consolidation leaves few choices for young fishermen.

                  For over three centuries, Raynes’s ancestors invested their futures in the lives of fish. They learned to think like fish. Few today could match his skills, but they don’t have to. Technology has edged Raynes out, and his fishing legacy will sadly die with him.

                  5 out of 5 stars We need more poets and warriors.......2005-09-21

                  Paul's a friend and some of this is familiar through conversations we've had and times we've lived through. We haven't seen each other for several years and just recently reconnected via email. As soon as I could I bought the book and have been reading it-it's like we are still talking and I've emailed him my first response;

                  "It's like having a conversation with you-it's cool and spooky-the book is beautifully written-of course. The description of you and Bernard pulling up the fish with the seawater streaming over white knuckles was superb of course, of course.

                  The dark water-all of it. I can't separate it from you and the line about living another man's memories you spoke to me and reading the book I'm living them too.

                  Maureen"

                  Paul's style is so accessible and everyone in Maine should read this book. We all have a brother or uncle or cousin or sister or mother or grandparent that is just like one of the Raynes or like Paul or one of his boatmates. Everyone not in Maine will see human truth in the story as well. The last chapter Poets and Warriors is immediately recongizable to me-that was the period when we were warriors and poets watching this world we knew culminate and turn into something else.
                  This book is important from an ecological standpoint-it reaffirms the human connection to our environment. There are generations of farmers who've lost the land and builders who've lost their craft-everything seems to erode, if we let it. Paul reminds us that the vast ocean has been depleted by our policies and inattention and lack of care for the human connections we have to our world.

                  Buy it-read it-my friend has a voice that should be heard.

                  5 out of 5 stars the best read of the summer.......2005-08-09

                  More than just a fishing book, Molyneaux took me above and below the waves and into the halls of government where polcies were set that targeted people like the book's main character, Bernard Raynes. Molyneaux gives an intimate portrayal of the Bernard, whose English and Acadian French ancestors fished the Gulf of Maine since the 1600s, and depicts how that rich heritage has enabled Raynes to survive in the face of an antognistic political climate and resource scarcity. The book is beautifully written and contains lessons that go way beyond fishing.

                      Book Description

                      Surveying the field of the economics of the household, the second edition of this text reviews the theory of the consumer at the intermediate undergraduate level. It applies and extends it to consumer demand and expenditures, consumption and saving, time allocation among market work, home work, and leisure, human capital emphasizing investment in education, children and health, fertility, marriage, and divorce. Influenced by Gary Becker and his associates, the models developed are used to help explain modern U.S. trends in family behavior. Topics are discussed with the aid of geometry and a little algebra.

Influenced by Gary Becker and his associates, the models developed are used to help explain modern U.S. trends in family behavior. Topics are discussed with the aid of geometry and a little algebra. For those with calculus, mathematical endnotes provide the models on which the text discussions are based and interesting applications beyond the scope of the text.

                              This book covers the state of the art of energy efficiency in household appliances and lighting which can be used now and in the near future to achieve significant and cost-effective energy savings. Recent developments in advanced appliance and lighting technologies by some of the largest manufacturers are also presented. Although energy-efficient household appliances and lighting technologies can save a huge amount of electricity, they still have not been widely adopted. The barriers which can hinder the adoption of those technologies are presented. Policies and programmes to promote the large-scale penetration of energy-efficient technologies and the market transformation are featured in the book, describing the experiences gained in different parts of the world. This extensive coverage includes contributions from relevant institutions in the European Union, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

                                  Description:
                                  We present and discuss a method that allows the disaggregation of national Ecological Footprints by economic sector, detailed final demand category, sub-national area or socio-economic group. This is done by combining existing National Footprint Accounts with input-output analysis. Calculations in the empirical part are carried out by using supply and use tables for the United Kingdom, covering the reporting period 2000. Ecological Footprints are allocated to detailed household consumption activities following the COICOP classification system and to a detailed breakdown of capital investment. The method presented enables the calculation of comparable Ecological Footprints on all sub-national levels and for different socio-economic groups. The novelty of the approach lies in the use of input-output analysis to re-allocate existing Footprint accounts, in the detail of disaggregation by consumption category and in the expanded use of household expenditure data. This extends the potential for applications of the Ecological Footprint concept and helps to inform scenarios, policies and strategies on sustainable consumption. The method described in this paper can be applied to every country for which a National Footprint Account exists and where appropriate economic and environmental accounts are available. The approach helps to save time in data collection and improves the consistency between Ecological Footprint estimates for a particular human society from different researchers. For these reasons, the suggested methodology includes crucial steps on the way towards a standardisation of Ecological Footprint accounts.

                                      When Pam Johnson founded the Secret Society of Happy People, she never imagined the controversies that would follow. From taking on Ann Landers over the issue of holiday newsletters, through worldwide press coverage, a spirited debate on Politically Incorrect, and creating a dilemma for governors when she asked for proclamations for National Admit You're Happy Day, she chronicles the amusing and often surprisingly controversial adventures of the Secret Society of Happy People. She also identifies why people have become more comfortable complaining and whining or being chronically cranky, than they are expressing happiness. Finally, she presents a whole spectrum of happiness brought to life by her insightful stories as well as thoughtful and witty pieces by other writers.

                                      Pam Johnson's "Secret Society Of Happy People" is one of the most unique and yet simple ideas I have ever heard of. Unlike so many other "feel-good" authors of today, she does not suggest that we deny our true feelings or the unhappy realities of this world, but to make a point of expressing our feelings of happiness as and when they arise -- without feeling guilty or inappropriate for doing so. There is a good chance that we are all a lot happier than we think we are! This book also raises awareness of how we allow other people's negativity to zap the happiness right out of our lives. "Don't Even Think of Raining On My Parade: Adventures of the Secret Society of Happy People." chronicles the author's diligent and courageous undertaking to bring acceptance back to the concept of feeling good. It's a wonderful read.
