"Empty your mind; be formless, like water." The spiritual teachings of Bruce Lee, by his daughter Shannon Lee, producer of the Warrior series
Bruce Lee's daughter highlights her father's philosophy of life and teachings, and shows that martial arts are a perfect metaphor for personal development.

"Empty your mind; be formless, like water."
Bruce Lee is famous throughout the world for his martial arts films. But he was also a thinker of great depth, who understood at a very young age that martial arts, far from being solely a physical discipline, teaches the art of living a fully realized life.

In Be water, my friend , his daughter Shannon Lee presents the concepts at the heart of her father's philosophy and shows how they are the privileged tools for personal development and self-fulfillment. Bruce Lee's teachings are thus sprinkled throughout the chapters, spinning the metaphor of water and fluidity. “Being like water” is about connecting with your essential nature, embodying flexibility and naturalness, reclaiming your autonomy, expressiveness, and freedom. Shannon Lee delivers these ideas in a simple, direct, and poetic way, through anecdotes from her father’s life and her own journey. With Bruce Lee’s words as her guide, she encourages readers to embark on a quest to find their essential self and apply his ideas to learn, overcome obstacles, or ultimately find their way.
Be Water, My Friend invites us to look at ourselves with new eyes. It also demonstrates how investigation and determination transcend time and space to rekindle imagination and inspire life transformation.
