IN THE EYE OF THE TIGER: Survival Principles from Sylvester Stallone's
Life & Films by Gerald Chuah
WHO would have figured that you could pick up motivational tips from The Italian Stallion? Through the process of meticulously documenting and analysing every single thing Stallone ever did or said, New Straits Times journalist Chuah believes he's stumbled onto heaps of positive life lessons people can employ to reach their goals.
Coinciding with the release of the final Rocky instalment Rocky Balboa, this self-help guide is interestingly stuffed with hundreds of memorable quotes from interviews with the actor as well as meaningful dialogue from the Rocky series and his other films.
Chuah explains his idea for the book: "Since young, I felt a special connection with Sly as I could clearly see and understand the underlying messages in his films, which seem to say that anything is possible if we set our minds to it.
