I read this book for the philosophy not for the martial arts but as a former martial arts practitioner it was interesting to see the basic review of the approach to Jeet Kune Do-- many of Bruce Lee's approaches have been incorporated into modern Kung Fu.
At its essence Tao of Jeet Kune Do is two thick slices of Philosophy (at the beginning an end) with a serving of Martial arts in between. It is there where Bruce Lee is most poignant.

What brought me to this book:
I've been looking for books that refer to methodologies of operating with a clear mind. Freud has called this ‘evenly suspended attention�. Surprising very little is written in the way of how to deliberately practice these techniques.
I know the concept is covered in meditation books—but I felt they might go too far into the meditation aspects and not in the ‘meditation� as a way of engaging in life.
A mentor recalled that Bruce Lee touches on this topic in this book. You might ask why Lee would touch on such a subject—but its clear. In his short time on earth Bruce had pushed himself to the limits of human accomplishment; such physical feats were only possibly because Bruce Lee managed to master his mind as well as his body. More specifically through mental mastery, he mastered his body.
Philosophical points:
In the book Bruce Lee outlines his philosophical underpinnings for his great achievement. And while he does not go so far as to communicating the ‘how-to� behind how he achieved self- mastery, he does without puffery describe the state in such vivid detail that he sets the reader on the journey to ultimate pursuit.
For this reason I give this book four stars- though for those interested in this book for its philosophical merits—I propose reading only the opening and closing chapters, but read them again and again.
