3.4⭐ Tao of Pooh: Reviewed by a Rabbit™
I think I was always going to have trouble with some of the philosophies in this book, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
You can take your Pooh Pathology Test here, if you’re not too bisy of a backson.

Yes, I’m 100% Rabbit. I took this quiz for fun about a year ago, so it's subject to change, but I relate to Rabbit enough not to have been surprised. This book doesn’t favor us Rabbits or our hectic ways, but I still enjoyed the Tao of Pooh. It appealed to that 67% side of me with very little brain.
By miracle or chance, I happened to start this book while taking an Art History class that slow danced with religious studies. The same week I started Tao of Pooh by pure whim of hundred-acre whimsy, I happened to study ancient Confucianism & Daoism in Art History—good thing. That textbook chapter saved me from snapping this book closed at the first chapter.
Confucianism & Daoism historically don’t get along, which explains some of the deep prejudices toward intellectuals/scholars peppered throughout.
I encourage my Rabbit, Owl, and Eeyore friends to seek this book’s wisdom despite its initial rudeness. Especially if you’re extra Rabbit like me—we need it more.
There’s so much wisdom in mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Rabbits will be Rabbits, but speaking as one, it’s exhausting. While I think I’m a little too Rabbit, the author may be a little too Pooh. I won't begrudge them.
I made some highlights of some of the sagest aspects of Tao of Pooh, but all in all, it was an interesting first look at Taoism through the lens of Winnie The Pooh, a world in which I’m always home.
“Knowledge doesn’t really care. Wisdom does.”
“Do you want to be really happy? You can begin by being appreciative of who you are and what you've got.”
“By Enjoying the Process, we can stretch that awareness out so that it's no longer only a moment, but covers the whole thing.”
“Like silence after noise, or cool, clear water on a hot, stuffy day, Emptiness cleans out the messy mind and charges up the batteries of spiritual energy. Many people are afraid of Emptiness, however, because it reminds them of Loneliness.”

"The Tao of Pooh" attempts to explain Taoism through Winnie the Pooh. While cute, didn't appeal to me.

A good comparison between Taoism and The Adventures of Pooh characters
