IN  THE EYE OF THE TIGER: SURVIVAL PRINCIPLES FROM SYLVESTER STALLONE’S LIFE & FILMS

IS FINALLY WRITTEN !

THE EYE OF THE TIGER  is a feeling, an awareness and a belief that there is something greater for you to achieve and reach for in life than what you seemingly are in this present reality. It is a call of duty that you must heed, a voice from your conscience that compels you to reach the destiny of your restless soul.

The films of Sylvester Stallone draw on the tradition of the underdog, the downtrodden man who comes out on top. The hardship of Stallone's early life provides inspiration for the challenges faced by his movie heroes. No matter what war he is fighting, a Stallone action hero faces a personal battle for respect, recognition, and survival.

Whether going rounds in the ring, fighting  through the jungle or hanging from the world's tallest mountain, audience know Stallone will never, never, say die!

 

 

"It's  high concept to say that Rocky is high concept (because it enhances mankind)." – SYLVESTER STALLONE

A REAL STORY:

IF ROCKY WAS a million-to-one-shot, Chuah is one-in-a-million fan who spent almost two decades pursuing his dream. Finally, before the last bell is rung, he pushed forward (in the footsteps of Rocky) to attain his goal.

His book IN THE EYE OF THE TIGER: Survival Principles from Sylvester Stallone's Life & Films was launched by Jacqueline Stallone (Sylvester's mom) at Borders Times Square in Kuala Lumpur,  Malaysia  on January 22, 2007,  in conjunction with the screening of Rocky Balboa (the last installment of the series).

Like a Hollywood ending to a life affirming story, his success is a living testimony that  the Rocky story and its metaphor is real - that no road is too long and no journey too far if you believe, and are willing to go the distance to make it come true.

Now that his book is finally published, he brings home an important message to readers worldwide to never give up hope, because miracles happen and dreams do come true when you believe.

Chuah's lifetime of research are distilled into an amazing book which reveals for the first time the Survival Principles from Sylvester Stallone's Life & Films,  which offer a complete life guide on all aspects of living from love, faith, courage, dream, determination, wisdom and spirituality. 

Extensively researched with hundreds of quotes and excerpts from books, magazines,  newspaper archives, rare documentaries and the internet, IN THE EYE OF THE TIGER is the first in the world to expound the inspirational themes from Stallone's Life & Films since the 80s.

Like East meets West, the red book cover design with Chinese motifs and character of a tiger, juxtaposed against the black-and-white illustration of Rocky symbolizes that Stallone's legacy  has transcended culture and boundaries inspiring fans worldwide.

Indeed Stallonism is an idea whose time has come, as Stallone comes full circle with the last outing of two of his famous characters Rocky and Rambo, he inspires hope in movie audiences around the world to reach for their wildest dreams and unleash their fullest potential.

 

 

10-REASONS WHY THIS BOOK IS A TOTAL KNOCKOUT!

  THE FIRST BOOK  in the world written by an Asian journalist about the Survival Principles from Sylvester Stallone's Life & Films, who has impacted generations of movie-goers  with his never-say-die attitude and no-holds barred action.

 EAST MEETS WEST. The bright red cover of the book with a Chinese character and symbolism of a tiger juxtaposed against a black-and-white caricature of Rocky shows that Stallone has come full circle. Now the zen-like  philosophy and lessons from his films are available in a book to inspire all.

A TRUE STORY about how a one-in-a-million Stallone fan living across the globe, who was impacted by his films was determined to fulfill hislifelong ambition to publish his book as a tribute to the actor and the lessons from the movies.  Finally on the last hour of the last day of that journey, a miracle happened which enabled him to achieve his dream. Chuah's book was launched and endorsed by Jackie Stallone (Sylvester Stallone's mom) and witnessed by Dr Stephen M. Levine (Jackie's husband and Sylvester's stepfather) in the book launch held in Kuala Lumpur. *See video of the book launch inside.

 LIKE A BLAST FROM THE PAST Stallone has come full circle with the last outing of two of his famous characters Rocky and Rambo,as he leaves behind a legacy  to the world, not with knockout punches and ricocheting machine guns but a vital message of hope and redemption inspiring audiences to stand up and fight back for their dreams instead of watching them wash down the drain.

EXTENSIVELY RESEARCHED with rare quotes and interviews with Stallone from newspaper clippings from archives since the 70s, documentaries, books, magazines and the internet. This 252-page book is divided into 7-chapters, with  47 principles, hundreds of inspiring quotes and a heart-warming story.

34 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONSof Stallone's famous film characters never seen before,  takes you back on the movie trail to relive the exciting moments from Stallone's blockbuster movies from that era. (This is one of the most talkabout feature of the book)

ROCKY IS A CLASSIC, which has been with us for nearly three decades and beyond. The positive example of the character will never become outdated, but will always stand as a beacon of hope to inspire life's underdogs to come full circle and achieve their wildest dreams. 

THE  UNIVERSAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES  from Stallone Life & Films are still true and relevant. Believe it or not in 2007, a small Serbian village erected a Rocky statue to remind people to be strong and resilient as their town was damaged by stormy weather proving the Rocky spirit is alive and continue to inspire the world.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. The Real Rocky Challenge represents hope that anything is possible if you believe and"if I can do it, you can do it too!" The greatest accomplishments is in the world is possible when you live with passion and persistence in The  Eye of the Tiger.

 POSITIVE FEEDBACK.  Since the book launch, it has gotten many positive feedback and testimonials from Stallone's parents, the press, international success gurus, and readers worldwide proving that Stallonism is indeed an idea whose time has come.

 

 

This is without QUESTION the best book on Sly ever written There have been a few books written on Sly but this surpasses everything… your book has articulated EVERTHING about the Sly films and messages that inspire me. It takes a Rocky like story of perseverance like yours to fulfill your dream of getting it done!” 

- TREVOR O’SULLIVAN (Journalist and Rocky fan from Mayo, Ireland)

BOOK REVIEW

"A work of stunning originality." - REHMAN RASHID

"IN THE EYE OF THE TIGER stands unique among local publications. Heck, all publications. It can be confidently asserted that nothing remotely like this has ever been done before.

It is the uber-fanzine… a remarkable assemblage of reflections, aphorisms and homilies built around quotes and outtakes from Stallone's films.

It's impossible to categorize. It could find a place in a bookstore's sections on movies, biography, popular culture, self-help, motivation, New Age esoterica and comparative mythology, for heaven's sake. Chuah has penetrated the vacuity of Hollywood to tap the heart within. His frequent transitions from reflection to reportage in comprehensively cataloguing Sylvester Stallone's career add to the boundary-busting, genre-defying nature of this book."

- REHMAN RASHID (New Straits Times Associate Editor, Author and Columnist)

"I want to give audience positive symbols, heroines, and heroes who pull themselves up from the depths of despair. As they struggle and claw and finally attain their goals, viewers can realise `My God, I can do that,' or `That's the kind of person I want to be.'"  - SYLVESTER STALLONE
