What sets this book apart isn’t just the legacy of Bruce Lee, it’s how deeply it leans into the uncomfortable truth: what we earn changes us more than what we’re given. Shannon and Fonda Lee blend personal philosophy with hard-won insight, and the result? A guide to living with intention, not just ambition.
Alita: Battle Angel dazzles with visuals and action, but struggles to connect emotionally. A promising cyberpunk world with underdeveloped depth, entertaining, but leaves you wanting more.
I usually prefer discussing movies with similar vibes separately, but if James Bond had a chaotic little cousin raised on Red Bull and sarcasm, it would be Kingsman: The Secret Service.
