Good read short and easy but very informative I would have never known the mystery behind the story of winnnie the pooh
I keep giving this book to someone who needs it and then I have to replace it. It has gotten me through hard times!
An easily readable elucidating book. Along with The Tau of Pooh, it is an excellent introduction to a philosophy we can all use.
Bought this little book in the early 1990s, shortly after it was first published. I truly love Pooh and at the time was on a path to learn more about other religious beliefs. And this one perfect--in its simplicity (like Pooh) and it endearing dialogue among all the characters of Pooh Corner. I'm not giving a copy to my granddaughter who wants to journal during this period of isolation--as a way of relieving some stress. Rather than the traditional (the bible, the torah) I think this book is just what will engage her and help her broaden her understanding.
I never thought I would read a book about Taoism or anything related to the topic but this book was recommended to me by a friend and it's become the book I want to be buried next to. Taoism concepts are explained through Benjamin Hoff (the author) interacting with different characters from Winnie the Pooh. It sounds elementary, but I became very quickly engaged and learned about a completely new religion. The religion is relaxing and honestly I consider this book Self-Help at times. This book is extremely well written, has a very light-hearted, humorous tone to it and I found myself writing down quotes and passages to reflect on later. There's much more I could say, but it's a super quick and fun read! So go for it!
