Lee was equal parts poet, philosopher, scientist, actor, producer, director, author, choreographer, martial artist, husband, father, and friend. He sought out life in all of its wondrous aspects and was enthralled by the process of what he was experiencing. Always a thinker, Lee was fascinated by the insights into spiritual truths that could be garnered through adjusting the focus of human awareness. This is not to suggest that in reading Artist of Life you need to first “empty your cup” entirely of the notion of Bruce Lee the martial artist, but you do need to prepare room to meet the complete Bruce Lee, the “artist of life.”

In the future, all who wish to represent themselves as torchbearers of Lee’s art and philosophy will need to know ALL aspects of the man. They will as much need to know, understand, and, most importantly, feel the meaning underlying Lee’s various drafts of the essay “In My Own Process,” along with the deeper message inherent in the eight drafts of “Toward Personal Liberation (Jeet Kune Do),” for example, as they are now able to physically recite his combative techniques and repeat his martial maxims.
