About this listen
Bruce Lee was a brand well before that became commonplace. Step into the Dragon’s mind and explore how he thought about business, life, and goals.
The Bruce Lee Code focuses on the business strategies prevalent in Lee’s life and teachings that helped unlock his full potential. Bruce Lee’s attention to brand is a major reason why he continues to influence pop culture today, and he was a pioneer, being one of the first Hollywood stars to start his own production company.
To recharge America’s creative and entrepreneurial swagger, we need to reexamine Lee’s life and teachings. Although he died in 1973 at age thirty-two, Lee remains a global icon who continues to influence the contemporary world in ways both obvious and subtle.
Lee was primarily known for his otherworldly martial arts skills and blockbuster movies such as Enter the Dragon and Fist of Fury. But he was also a man of incredible 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 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 taking existing products and ideas and turning them into something better. Lee also did not hesitate to liberally borrow and emulate. He fused Eastern and Western ideas and techniques to make unique films that would appeal to worldwide audiences. He created 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 and 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.

Disappointing
First the good. The narrator did a great job, using different voices to mimic different people, and pulled off a great Bruce Lee interpretation. I did learn a couple of small things about Bruce which was nice. The writer obviously did his homework. Bruce Lee was my childhood idol, he means a lot to me (just like many people his life’s have touched)even though he passed away 13 before I was even born. The man is a legend in every sense of the word.
Negatives
Book starts right out of the gate complaining about Trump and the tariff’s placed on China during Covid. And him lying about Covid coming from a lab and that fuelling racism. For starters, at this point it’s a pretty well known fact that it is believed to have come from a lab now they’ve had time to research the virus. Not to mention Wuhan has a lab that creates Covid virus, not not exactly a big stretch. Secondly tariff’s are imposed for very important reasons, none of which has to do with racism. I’m not gonna go on with any more politics but the fact you had to lump modern politics on a man who’s been dead for 50 years was distasteful in my opinion. Secondly 100% Bruce dealt with racism in the 70s, but the narrative the writer portrays about the US is unsavoury in my opinion. How many action stars has China had in the last 50 years that aren’t Chinese exactly?, none. Or what’s their immigration policy like, how much diversity is in China exactly?. Bruce dealt with racism in China too because his not full blood Chinese. Racism is a human problem not a Caucasian problem as this author portrays. Bruce Lee says as much in one of the quotes put in this very book.
All so his point about Schwarzenegger and Stallone are factually untrue. Schwarzenegger experienced his own prejudice. Was told he looked ridiculous and no one could read his name or understand him. Even was dubbed over in his first movie. The studios wanted nothing to do with Stallone. When he come up with Rocky he was sleeping in his car and had to sell his dog feed himself, till he got his break. Point being this writer should focus more on the human spirit. The part that made Bruce the immortal legend he is.
