THE BRUCE LEE CODE explores the business strategies that shaped Lee's life and teachings, which unlocked his full potential. Lee's focus on branding was a key factor in his enduring influence on pop culture today, as he was one of the first Hollywood stars to establish his own production company. Despite his untimely death at the age of thirty-two in 1973, Lee remains a global icon who continues to shape the contemporary world in both obvious and subtle ways. While Lee was best known for his extraordinary martial arts skills and blockbuster movies such as Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury, he was also a man of remarkable vision, willpower, and intellectual curiosity whose brief career inspired highly successful projects in Hollywood, sports, comic books, video games, and fashion. In many ways, Lee resembled Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Both men possessed a remarkable self-assurance and a desire to disrupt the status quo. Jobs did not invent the computer, tablet, or MP3 player. Instead, Jobs's genius was in taking existing products and ideas and turning them into something better. Lee also did not hesitate to borrow and emulate. He fused Eastern and Western ideas and techniques to create unique films that would appeal to worldwide audiences. He developed his own unique style of martial arts and philosophies that drew upon a deep reservoir of historical and contemporary influences. This book will draw upon interviews with Lee's family and friends, as well as Lee's extensive writings, including letters, journals, and business documents. CEOs and executives, academics, and experts on innovation, life coaching, and personal growth will also be interviewed.
