De: Jet Li

Narrado por: Jet Li

Jet Li has lived many lives, and he’s ready to share the wisdom behind them.

The martial arts champion, international film star and director, spiritual seeker and humanitarian opens up for the first time to share the 10 core lessons that have shaped his extraordinary journey – from childhood poverty in Beijing to international superstardom.

Through deeply personal and reflective storytelling, he shares how martial arts, Taoism and Buddhism helped him move beyond fear, ego and external validation – and how anyone can use these teachings to live with more courage, clarity and compassion.

His 10 powerful and actionable lessons include:

• Life is movement: embrace change as the only constant
• True self-defence is rooted in awareness, interconnection and softness
• End suffering by shifting your relationship with pain
• Be a grandchild to the world: let go of entitlement and receive life with humility
• Learn from everyone, dissolve ego and rediscover interconnection

For the first time, Jet publicly illuminates the spiritual and philosophical codes behind his cinematic legacy, using vivid storytelling and deeply reflective insight to offer others a powerful new way to see the world and their place in it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Behind Jet Li's every powerful kick and every graceful movement was a man searching for something far beyond the camera’s reach. In reading Beyond Life and Death, I discovered layers of my friend I had only ever glimpsed—his profound spiritual quest, the lessons carved from hardship, and the quiet transformation that reshaped him from martial artist into a true warrior of the spirit. This is the Jet Li the world rarely sees: vulnerable, questioning, and deeply awake. By sharing his journey with such honesty, he reveals not only his own path but also invites each of us to awaken the warrior within—not through strength alone, but through wisdom, courage, and an open heart." - Michelle Yeoh

"Jet Li has done extensive work to uncover and recognize the true nature of his own mind. This magnificent book contains his remarkable personal journey as well as his unique view of practice and inner wellbeing. It has something for those who are new to meditation and those who have spent decades on the path." - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, author of The Joy of Living and In Love with the World

"In this fascinating memoir, Jet Li illuminates a personal path to true meaning that can inspire us all to move beyond the modern message of individualism toward a kinder way of living with an expanded, more connected identity. The hard earned lessons from our guide’s life of fame, physical pain, and aging are interwoven with his commitment to family, philanthropy, and Buddhist philosophy and practice, providing an affirming story of what really matters in life." - Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Aware and Brainstorm

"Jet Li has dared to look at life beyond what is merely observable and tangible. Beyond Life and Death points powerfully to the power of the profound inner world." - Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist
