“The Art of Dying”: a valuable message from Bruce Lee about our ego.
In his constant search for self-knowledge, Bruce Lee produced a lot of valuable messages that apply not only to martial arts, but to life as a whole.
This article evolved into something bigger: I wrote a book about Bruce Lee’s Philosophy.
In No Path to Truth: The Philosophy of Bruce Lee and Its Origins, I explore the roots of the philosophical ideas Bruce Lee left in his works and investigate the thinkers and texts that influenced him the most.

Bruce Lee was not just a martial arts grandmaster, but also a thinker who brought a unique perspective to life, based on Eastern philosophies. In No Path to Truth: The Philosophy of Bruce Lee and its Origins, I explore the very roots of the philosophical ideas that he left behind in his writings and delve into the thinkers and texts that influenced him the most.
Over the course of this book, I consider how Bruce Lee’s philosophy is woven together with tenets of Buddhism and Taoism, and how these teachings shaped his lifestyle and his own martial arts approach called Jeet Kune Do. I conducted research into the philosophers that Bruce Lee studied, including Lao Zi, Alan Watts, Buddha and Jiddu Krishnamurti, and studied works on Eastern philosophy that he never got to know, as they were published after his death in 1973, but which align with his thinking.
Bruce Lee has left us precious life lessons through his films, series and interviews. His works are priceless gems that offer us the most profound teachings, and his art was the perfect vehicle to convey them.
This book is not an official publication, but an independent and personal interpretation, with no affiliation with Bruce Lee Enterprises or any related entity.
