Córka Bruce'a Lee przywraca do życia nieprzemijającą filozofię swojego ojca, który mawiał: „Oczyść swój umysł”. Bruce Lee, ikona sztuk walki, był nie tylko mistrzem kung-fu, ale także filozofem, który dostrzegał w sztuce walki głębsze znaczenie – jako metaforę spełnionego życia. Jego kultowa zasada „bądź jak woda” podkreśla, że naśladując naturę wody, możemy osiągnąć spokój, pewność siebie i wolność. W książce córka Bruce'a Lee przybliża jego myśli i nauki, ukazując, jak sztuki walki mogą wspierać osobisty rozwój w codziennym życiu. Każdy rozdział to lekcja oparta na filozofii „bądź jak woda”, a autorka odkrywa geniusz swojego ojca, przywołując fragmenty jego prywatnych pism i intymne historie. Pisze w stylu swojego ojca – bezpośrednio, poetycko i charyzmatycznie. Książka stanowi wspaniały przewodnik po ponadczasowej filozofii Bruce'a Lee, oferując tematycznie uporządkowane lekcje i mądre instrukcje. To inspirująca pamiątka dla wielbicieli Bruce’a Lee oraz tych, którzy pragną rozwijać się osobiście. Przypomina, że choć nie możemy kontrolować zewnętrznych okoliczności, mamy wybór, jak na nie reagować.

"Here is the book summary: What do you think happens to you when you die? And what do you want done with your body? For three years Shannon Lee Dawdy travelled the U.S., from Vermont to California, Illinois to Alabama, posing such questions to a wide range of people from all walks of life. Many of her interlocutors recently lost loved ones. She also spoke to people who have made death their business: funeral directors, death care entrepreneurs, designers, cemetery owners, and death doulas about the changes they were seeing, and in many cases promoting, in how the bodies of recently-deceased persons are being treated, and how the memory of the deceased are being memorialized, in the U.S. Her ethnographic research resulted in this book, a wide-ranging investigation into rapidly-changing death practices in the twenty-first century United States. The author is also working on a documentary film project on this topic with cinematographer Daniel Zox. Still photos from the film work will appear in this book"--
