Besides being one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th Century and a cinematic superstar, Bruce Lee was also a philosopher and one of the original champions of self-help and human achievement. As Lee evolved his revolutionary, "non-restrictive" approach to martial art training and combat, he simultaneously evolved a unique, non-restrictive philosophy toward life and living, the central theme of which is "personal liberation" -- liberation of body, mind, and spirit through greater self-knowledge. Here, for the first time, are the fundamental tenets of Lee's philosophy of self-actualization and personal liberation taken out of the martial arts arena and put into the arena of daily living.
A ground-breaking guide, LIBERATE YOURSELF doesn't offer you a set, rigid, one-size-fits-all philosophy, but rather a fluid set of operating principles you can use to cultivate a flexible, highly adaptable attitude toward living life to its fullest, develop the skills and confidence required to free yourself from the chains of limitation, whether of physical or psychological origin, and raise your living to the level of an art form. LIBERATE YOURSELF can help you:
• Become more at ease with yourself and the world around you
• Take charge of your attitude and fully realize your innate potential in all aspects
of your life
• Adapt to and deal effectively with whatever situation you find yourself in
• Break down barriers and overcome obstacles that keep you from achieving your
goals and enjoying success
“Your inspiration continues to guide us toward our personal liberation” – that is the message I had engraved on my late husband, Bruce Lee’s, headstone when he passed way in 1973. Today I am inspired by the publication of a book entitled “Liberate Yourself” by Chris Kent that elaborates on the message of personal liberation. Chris has studied Bruce’s art and philosophy for forty years. He is a gifted martial artist and teacher, but beyond that he has grasped the underlying philosophy of Bruce’s art and applied it to daily living. In reading “Liberate Yourself” one will not only understand Bruce Lee’s way of thinking better, but will discover ways of looking at and improving one’s own life. In understandable language, Chris Kent has laid out a blueprint for taking control and overcoming obstacles. I highly recommend Chris’ book to anyone wanting to take the next step toward personal liberation."
