I really like the last one
Love Bruce Lee. He's a legend!
Very true!!!!! 🐕🐕🐕🐕
All amazing quotes, but why would he preach all this and then would hurt people closest to him / people that loved him unconditionally ... in a way that makes him a hypocrite
@@madelainebellini7447 you are right, but people have many different sides, I will give you a quote I like, we live as we can, not how we like. 🐕🐕🐕🐕
As an athlete and academic, I have always found Lee fascinating...I love your analysis...if you put your foot on the accelerator all the time, your ability to endure in life suffers. Thanks so much! So much food for thought!
Dr. Grande I need a Howard Hughes video I won’t stop!💕
I'm behind you ☺ what an incredibly interesting man. Anyone w/OCD or any undiagnosed mental disorder way back then, wow that musta been hell. Luckily, early on, he could hide behind his brilliance and financial independence. THANKS 👍
I would like that too 👏
@@georgehasleftthebuilding6621I’ve been asking for probably a month now for the reasons that you stated.
@@georgehasleftthebuilding6621 He is the perfect example of what happens when you don’t seek treatment in my opinion. Hopefully more people will give a like so that he will do the video.
@@cancel_naomi I've seen The Aviator a thousand times. Leonardo always completely crushes it in his bio movie roles. 😀
I remember accidentally busting the hell out of head back in the 1970s using (or would it be misusing) a pair of nunchuks. It really hurt. Thanks Bruce.
It happens even to the best of us.
Wave my17" cox round ya mug. Its a life saver
There's an old saying that goes something like this. "You'll never hurt anyone with nunchucks in a fight as much as you'll hurt yourself in practice."
@@rh_BOSS They are illegal to use because they are so dangerous. Bruce Lee could use work them well. It must take a lot of practice.
Lolll
“Be water”
One of the all time greatest quotes.
Bruce Lee is one of my all time heroes and most tragic about his death to me is, that he still had so much give.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡
I had a stroke while reading this
When Jackie Chan won the honorary Oscar a couple of years ago, I like to think that it also honorarily went to Bruce Lee.
He kicked the door down for Chan and others!
Not really, Jackie achieved godlike status making about 100 movies in Hong Kong on his own long before Hollywood took notice of him in the mid 90s 22years after Lee died. I'm so glad the directors of his Hollywood films botched them (apart from Rush Hour) and they sucked because he went right back to Hong Kong doing what he did best and way better than Hollywood ever has.
@@jedaaa Lee was the first Chinese star to get Hollywood to take notice. He kicked down that door.
@@mdaddy775 I know that, but I'm saying it's unrelated to Chan's Hollywood success. If there was an unbroken line of Chinese martial art action stars in Hollywood after Lee up until Jackie then I would agree, but Hollywood lost all interest after Lee died. It was almost quater of a century later that Jackie got noticed (and that's only because John Woo put his name around) Jackie got respect on his own.
@@jedaaa OK. Fair. But one could argue that Lee inspired Chan and showed that it can be done!
@@mdaddy775 did you ever see Jackie talking about working with Lee on the set of Enter the Dragon? It's a great story n Jackie is like a little kid telling it haha 😃
So much I didn’t know about him. Very interesting man! Can you do a video on Freddie Mercury? He was another very interesting person! 👍
@Lt col George Armstrong Custer : he was an AIDS victim, not a merchant! By the time he was diagnosed, he’d been in a relationship that lasted until his death. Many people were unknowing carriers.
Great news, Doctor Grande did a video on Freddie just a short while ago!
@@mc_zittrer8793 Thanks, I was so happy!
Love Kraftwerk Music🙏🏼
@@granularsynthesizer so do I! 👍
Wow! 500k subscribers 😊🤗 Congratulations Dr I'm so excited to see this and to see how much your channel has grown. Definitely well deserved.
Thank you for accepting 'requests'. I would be curious about your 'take' on ROSEANNE BARR. It crossed my mind because of your Hawaiian 'show' and thoughts about Hawaiian 'cuisine' ... pineapples etc. but thought of her with her pecan farm in Hawaii (reality show etc).
Good One!!!! Thanks 👍
Macadamia nut farm.
@@arwenhardy1995 oops, right! macadamias not pecans, thanks.
FBl: don’t you have a laptop to investigate?
I remember the old days when the Kung Fu phenomenon first swept through pop culture as did the James Bond 007 phenomenon. Nothing like old age for giving you insight and perspective. Now where did I put my memberberries again?
Please take the good doctor's analysis with a grain of salt everyone. In the meantime, be water my friends, be water.
take your meds !
Lol! Are you BL's alter ego?
Bruh
dead doppelganger?
Salt water?
Friedrich Nietzsche next please!? 🙏🙏🙏🙏

A friend of mine used to be in the to martial arts and would go see all the B and C grade "karate type" movies back then, at a local second run movie theatre. He told me that often during a "karate battle" scene in a movie, certain type patrons would get so excited that they would leave their seats and engage in their own martial arts combat.
I didn’t know much about Bruce Lee, now I know.🙂
I learn something new through your videos every single day, and that is such an amazing experience. That’s the reason why I keep coming back.
Thank you so much for all that you do Dr. Grande!❤️
Genuinely inspired by your work ethic! Thanks Dr. Grande!
Great analysis, Dr. Grande! The details of his history and career was especially interesting. It's tragic his belief that limits didn't exist in relation to martial arts was applied outside that realm and it cost him his life. It's a stark reminder of the limitations around health and the importance of addressing any health related concerns as soon as possible. As always, many thanks!
Man, that fight he had with Chuck Norris was killer!
Back then, Chuck Norris was the bad guy. Hard to believe believe now.
Damn straight.
@@torqueshock7236 lol!
Best fight scene ever, IMO, because it was a psychological journey, among other things. He actually managed to turn a fight scene into character development! Soooo creative!
Mr. Lee was born in the Year of the Dragon, right on! Thank you Dr. Grande.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. I have been a fan of Bruce Lee since 1982. What bothered me all these years is the over-glorification of Lee, his teachings, and the like. Your analysis is a breath of fresh air. Bruce himself asserted that he wanted most to be thought of as a "human being." You certainly honored him by portraying him as such.
There may be a few details in this presentation that could be corrected, but doing so matters little. I look forward to other analyses from you on various other topics.
Bruce Lee my childhood favorite movie star.The legend of Bruce Lee. Some say he started the one man action movie era. Some say he suffered from male anorexia. He was extremely thin near his death. Some say there was a curse on tbe male members of Bruce Lee family line. The mystery of the death of Bruce Lee. Some say he purified his body to such an extent an aspirin took him out. He was truly my childhood hero.❤
He was on steroids, cocaine, marijuana, cortisone and a lot more... So his body was not pure 😉
@@wayneinteressierts118 Who knows what he was doing behind the scenes. I wrote this two years ago.
Interesting human. Interesting topic!
You are very calming to listen to. I am relaxed learning about celebrities history, personalities and the connection between their outcomes in life to early childhood. I believe all children should go a nurturing preschool in case they aren’t getting nurtured at home. Thank you
It seems to me that the greatest tragedy of Bruce Lee's life is that we, the public, missed out on the man he would have become had he lived into old age. Having lived as a warrior -- and, as Dr. Grande describes, he lived all facets of his life within that philosophy -- as he matured, that philosophy would have inevitably broadened to include other ways of experiencing life without a young man's hormones. Given his interest in philosophy and his education, I think he would probably have written about what he learned. It would have been so interesting to hear the warrior's thoughts at 80! A tragic loss indeed.
Bruce lee was a man of such unrelenting passion, vigor, and determination to an almost superhuman degree. He studied all aspects of film and was an avid reader and activist as well as a man of physical prowess. His drive was his biggest fault as well as his best quality and it ended up killing him; he had also been sleep deprived and malnourished the weeks before due to overwork.
Truly and inspiration and a tale of caution, it is sad to think this unbalance of self disciple over self control lead to his downfall when he always preached and sought balance.
He almost drowned at a young age and had a fear of water but he would often walk along the edge of a river when he felt the need to contemplate his life. He strived to be water and the willow tree; flexible, adaptable, ever changing, but the fire inside of him burned him out.
Better to burn out than to fade away.
Rest in piece.
I was a Gung Fu student of his in Oakland, and from what I saw of him I think you have captured him well in these remarks.
@@supralogical wow that’s amazing and I’m glad to hear it. I read a biography of him by Bruce Thomas called Fighting Spirit when I was going through a few traumatic event at the same time. The man it made him out to be helped me shape how I handled what life was putting forward and helped me through a lot of hardship since. Even though his philosophies weren’t anything new they were eastern ideals that he had a big part of bringing west.
I have trouble with hyperthermia too. I realized recently that the serious injuries from my motorcycle accident didn't mess up my sensory nerves but messed up my ability to control my temperature. I can't sweat in most places and the heat-producing brown fat cells in my body never stop producing heat no matter how hot my environment is. I also have thick skin so the heat is more l likely to be retained in my body.
One time, I had ridden my bike to my best friend's house and I had to go back home that day to take care of my cats. I waited until very late at night to ride home because it kept being hot. I was an EMT some years before this and I noticed my own symptoms of heat exhaustion. I was at the furthest most point from access to roads and other places to get help at the time. It was 1am and the temperature was 77 F. I realized that I had to at least make it along the bike trail until it went under a road to get help so I drank half my water and poured the other half over me, not all at once, but at severally different points that were intentionally spaced out to give me the best chance of getting to where I could get help. I ended up being able to make it all the way home because I got more water and got my shirt wet when I got to civilization. I can see how hyperthermia can take even a relatively healthy person out if they are unable to disperse heat the way most people can. However, the human body actually has many more mechanisms to resist the cold than we have to dissipate heat considering our evolutionary past in which cold was a bigger danger than heat so we are at a relative disadvantage when it comes to extreme heat. That really doesn't bode well considering that we refuse to take the drastic action necessary to avert the coming climate catastrophe. I have no chance in such a future and I may fall early on but humanity doesn't have much of a chance either considering our limited means to dissipate bodily heat.
Dr. Grande please could you analyse elon musk mental health and personality
Up
He said be water. But he was as much fire as he was water.
Because he was sagitarian
Happy Tuesday Doc! What's the haps! As usual, Ioved this video analysis. A lot I didn't know about Bruce. He left this earth way too soon.
I enjoy your case study on Bruce Lee and appreciate the opportunity to request your analytical perspective on other interesting people. I often think about princess Diana and Michael Jackson. Could you do an analysis on their personalities? Thanks so much for sharing 👏🏼😇👏🏼
I can't wait for a year from now when we run out of people to do and Dr. Grande is reviewing the mental health of his mail man on here.
Great video! I've been a fan of Bruce Lee's nearly my entire life. I can safely say I've read hundreds or articles and dozens of books about him and trained with people who trained with him. I can also safely say that nearly everything you said in this video jibes with everything I've read. I do respectfully disagree with you about the role racism played in his losing the role on Kung Fu to David Carradine. Based on what I've read, racism played a big factor in his struggles in Hollywood, not just "Kung Fu," but also "The Green Hornet" and shows where he guest starred. His co-star on The Green Hornet, Van Williams, said that the producers of the show were puzzled that Lee was the most popular thing about the show. They couldn't understand that people anyone would consider an Asian as a heroic figure.
It would be very interesting to hear your comments on Robert Crumb, and the documentary featuring his family, "Crumb".
hello all. Such a tragic case
Chuck Norris has interesting stories about Bruce for anyone who is interested. Bruce Lee really did change things and he was an amazing human being
Thank you for doing this video! Bruce Lee was always (and still is) one of my personal heroes! I look forward to your video about his son (and hopefully one of his lesser known daughter growing up in such a male dominated household).
As a martial artist and a bibliophile with a passion for psychology and philosophical matters, Bruce Lee has always been an individual I respected. I think Lee's death was due to exertional heart stroke (or EHS). The tragedy could've been avoided had Lee taken more care for his well-being and had doctors then been more aware of EHS which kills so any extremely fit athletes in their prime. Thank you for tackling Bruce Lee with your usual reasoned and objective perspective: it's much appreciated.
As always love the insight you give. This was respectfully done and with a great message. Well done Dr Grade, thank you!
6:34 I was afraid of this, so I always go for introverted men 😂
As a woman who has married 2 extroverts, I absolutely believe it. The amount of female attention they need is unreal.🙄
Enter the Dragon still strikes me as a good and enjoyable film, but not at the level people seemed to rate it at the time of its release. Yet there is no way to know what he might have achieved had he survived himself. Thank you for the video.
I was just reading an article about bruce Lee , opened UA-cam to find out you made a video about him 😆
Hi Dr Grande!
Bruce Lee could move like no other. The speed of his reflexes was uncanny.
I am really enjoying these posthumous psychoanalyses of celebs, scientists and historical figures. Would love more literary and stage artists - poets, novelists and actors - as well.
VERY interesting subject, wow!! - I have wondered about Bruce for many years. - I read the book about him, written by his wife Linda, and I also read his own book, about his personal style of martial arts. Thank you for this insightful analysis, Doctor Grande. I'm giad he is still remembered for so long, after living such a short life. 🐉
Saw your analysis of Jim Jones and Jim Bakker. Would you consider doing an analysis on another infamous “Jim” preacher, Jimmy Swaggert?
Kenneth Copeland?
Could you make an analysis on sylvia plath's personality and mental helth?
Dear Dr. Grande, I love your set and outfit. This is a very interesting episode.
He overdid it, pure and simple.
Your videos are the best at UA-cam I have found
Dr, Grande, share thought on Freddie Mercury and Chester Bennington please!
I hope there's a lot of interest in these two!
Comment 81: 1900 views. Very well done, Dr. Grande.
Inside the box, so to speak.
Scientific and useful.
Thankyou again, 🎾😇🎾
I love these videos! Your channel is amazing! Can you please do a video on Dr. Gregory House from the show House?
I appreciate your pointing out the lessons we can learn from Bruce Lee’s life. Thank you, Dr. G!
You gave us an ocean of information on this one. Think you're doing swimmingly. Keep up the good work and take care.
Thanks Dr. Grande for such an interesting analysis. Helen Luke said: "Discipline is to keep a single gaze." I find that Bruce Lee was focused on his craft in both martial arts and entertainment. When I was in Karate Class our sensei would take us to his home to watch Bruce Lee movies because he had such remarkable talent. Thanks again.
Can we have a van Gogh video please? Theres a mine of artists to cover for these videos
Now do his son! Would love to see that! Great job! Cheers Doc!
He will, he already announced it in one of the recent videos.
@@Schreibtisch1 cheers
Well done!! I love Enter the dragon one of my favorites. He was gone too soon...
Imagine Dr. Hannibal Lecter the first time he met Special Agent Clarice Starling:
- Doctor Lecter, we need a profile of serial killer Buffalo Bill.
- Dear Clarise, I conceptualize personality using the 5-factor model. I remember the 5-factors when eating a human liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
James Dean, Van Gogh, Basquiat all would be great video!!
Excellent episode Dr Grande!
I think his philosophy of being like water applying to many facets of life is interesting and may not be impossible. If the objective is to be like water, I take it to mean that even if the approach might be difficult, like water, it will always find a way in. Somehow.
Definitely something worth thinking about. And I see where he might be coming from. At least from my understanding.
Thank you once again for this analyzes, I didn't know much about Bruce Lee, this was very informative.
The essence of Bruce Lee is the warrior spirit. Without understanding that, you can talk about biography but there is no real understanding of who Bruce Lee was and his whole philosophy behind developing his own martial art and basically changing martial arts so fundamentally that he is known as the father of mixed martial arts.
I am watching this a second time because this one warms my heart so much!
Wow! You made complete sense. Gave me goosebumps. Awesome Dr. Grande.💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Would you please explain the pros and cons of each extreme of the 5-factor model?
Dr. Grande Would you do one about Helen Keller?
THAT is a phenomenal suggestion! I would enjoy that also.
Dr. Grande please do Makenzie a Phillips story that is a real head scratcher... as to HOW...
You did a great job Dr. Grande , but I wish you have time to Analyze Trump's personality profile , this could be a very helpful for students and professionals!
OMG HE went to WASHINGTON U in SEATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet ANOTHER Washington connection lol
Bruce Lee would have been wonderful in the Kung Fu role, but Carradine was absolutely excellent.
It would have been awesome to see him in that role, to see his take on it. Sad.
I agree that Carradine was excellent in that role. It was a very popular series, so that tells you something.
I just watched ba documentary of Vincent Van Gogh. What a disturbed but gifted man he was. Could you please cover him?
PLEEEEZ do a video on Aaron Carter!! He SO needs your help!!
Bruce Lee was definitely a force of nature. I think he went through life a million miles a minute because he wanted to pack as much into his life as he possibly could. And he pretty much succeeded. As for the tv studio, they absolutely thought Bruce was too “Chinese” for the role. As enlightened people thought they were in the 60s and 70s, television was not on the same wavelength so to speak. David Carradine got the role in Kung Fu because he looked more American, therefore, according to the studio, more relatable. No matter what he did or how much he accomplished, Bruce Lee always had to fight that racism.
Hello Doctor of great content! Would you consider an episode on Josef Fritzl?
Dr Grande that was a great analysis.I've never watched Bruce Lee in movies but your analysis of this man was extremely insightful and sad. Thank you Dr Grande for the time you put into this and for uploading great videos
Hi Dr Grande, I always look forward to your videos! 🙂 Would be Interested to see an analysis for Keith Raniere.
I'd be interested in an analysis of Arnold Schwarzenegger, if you could please do one.
Thank you for this. I was actually hoping you would do an analysis on Bruce Lee and I didn't think you would!
This is a subject I know a lot about, and I can say, you really did a tremendous amount of research.
I'm a such a huge fan of Bruce Lee. What a tragic loss. It's disheartening that his feelings if invincibility, ultimately led to his demise. His skills and movies, are phenomenal and memorable.
I'd love if you could do an analysis of Jay Gatsby from "The Great Gatsby".
Brilliant! Now we just need one on Muhammad Ali :)
Excellent as normal, you summed him up well!!!!!
This is cool! Thank you for doing this video.
What killed Bruce Lee was a surgery he did 6 months prior to his death, called Sympathectomy to "cure" axillary hyperhidrosis. I have done that surgery 3 years ago for palmar hyperhidrosis and I am suffering from several debilitating side effects related to heat intolerance, exercise intolerance, thermoregulation problems, compensatory sweating, apathy, etc. It is unbelievable how surgeons continue to perform this crime.
I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan and this is very interesting, thanks.
a back injury took place way way back into the 70s and a doctor told him that if he does his martial arts he will die and this is what i was told because this was something that needed to be healed right into Bruce"s Life
And once again I learn new things about one of my favorite topics!! Thanks AGAIN!!😎😃
Bruce Lee=instant click!
Please do a video on the poet and writer Charles Bukowski
Can you do Chanel and Alexander McQueen?
can you do Grandmaster Ip man next
Dr. should make a video on late Indian actor SSR.
Thank you Dr. Grande your personality analysis help me figure out myself and the people around me 😄
I'm first to say I love you Dr G
💖💖💖💖💖
Sooner than expected, awesome video!!
Outstanding!
Would love to see the analysis of Tim Leary and Richard Alpert
Ram Dass! Excellent suggestion!
An exploration of psychedelics and how they temporarily anesthetize ones ego, for an experience of pure awareness/oneness!
And his transformation from Richard to Ram Dass
@@BenShanti Ben,
These are huge topics!

I was wondering if you take cultural differences in to account when you use the Ocean tool? I’m danish and I work as a psychiatric nurse. We receive patients from Greenland in a state of acute psychiatric crisis. I don’t know anything about Inuit culture and the patient don’t know much about my culture. In Greenland there are no locked institutions, they have prisons, but not locked. They have psychiatric departments, but not locked. Often we can’t communicate, as I don’t speak Inuit language and the patient have very basic danish. How do I observe the patient, when I don’t know if what I’m observing is normal behaviour or abnormal behaviour? The situation is so frustrating. I hope you understand what I’m describing because my English is very basic.
