A simple, lighthearted introduction to Taoism through the perspective of Whinnie the Pooh.

I absolutely adored this book

I enjoyed reading this, and all I wanted to do was rewatch Winnie the Pooh content). The way it is formatted is interesting because I was able to learn about different concepts of Taoism/Daoism via conversations between Winnie the Pooh and the author as well as text examples (both Winnie the Pooh and Taoist). However, most things are shown rather than explained, so I am not sure that I would be able to properly articulate what I learned to its full extent (though that's part of the point in some cases). I was a bit inconsistent in my pace of reading because some parts were easier to read than others (some Taoist text examples were more dense than Winnie the Pooh excerpts). I could definitely foresee myself rereading this, and I am interested in reading the sequel The Te of Piglet. I would recommend.

This book is the perfect way to learn more about Taoism in a light and helpful way. It's honestly so creative to explain the principles through the characters of Winnie the Pooh. I'm genuinely excited to read the next one.

Super quick read that I will definitely return to whenever I feel overwhelmed with life. 

I adored the concept of being taught these principles through Pooh and all of his friends. It was cute and helped me understand everything a bit better. 

Sometimes you need to stop and just be. Appreciate the little things and life for what it is. 

I read this book in a few hours and feel lighter and happier because of it. I'm a Bisy Backson (read the book to know what this means) and waste a lot of time because of it. The sunshine is warm a lovely and many days I don't take the time to notice it. But Pooh does, and I've learned some good lessons from him!
