The how of Pooh?
The Tao of who?
The Tao of Pooh!?!
Yes, Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain Way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear. In these pages Benjamin Hoff shows that Pooh's Way is amazingly consistent with the principles of living envisioned long ago by the Chinese founders of Taoism. The author's explanation of Taoism is through Pooh, and Pooh through Taoism, shows that this is not simply an ancient and remote philosophy but something you can use, here and now.
And what is Taoism? It's really very simple. It calls for living without preconceived ideas about how life should be lived--but it's not a preconception of how life--It's... Well, you'd do better to read this book, and listen to Pooh, if you really want to find out.

A wonderful and cute way to discover the principles of Taoism through a most lovable character ❤️ It wasn't perfect but didn't needed to be either, so it was in its own way.
A cute, light view into Eastern thought. I loved the intro into the concepts, however, I really did not like and got distracted by the characters interacting with the narrator. I understand that the author was making a point and illustrating the things he was talking about, however, it was distracting and slightly annoying. It just felt like it dragged on a bit.
I would love to keep learning about taoist ways.
Easily one of the most useful books on the Tao that I've ever read, apart from the Tao Te Ching itself–and with this one, you don't have hundreds of different translations to contend with!
