tldr: Winnie-the-Pooh or, should I say, Winnie-the-life-coach?

Apparently the classic story we all know is full of Taoist wisdom and the main character somehow embodies it completely. Without realising it obviously. Ah the good old Winnie.

It's quite interesting and easy to read. I'm quite amazed the author noticed the parallels. They make sense once you get them pointed out to you, but to be the first to notice? Wild.

This was very slow read for me. I found a lot of the Tao description too much. The small pieces of interactive talk with Pooh and related characters amusing, which kept me moving forward.
My problem is that I read this a month ago and I haven't retained any of the information, so it failed in that respect.

”wisdom, happiness, and courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they’re part of a continuous cycle that begins right here. they’re not only the ending, but the beginning as well.”

i think this changed my life
