The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
5.0
Short, light read. Who knew you could learn so much from Winnie the Pooh? Principles of Taoism are presented in a clear, digestible and attractive way.
My personal take on it from a Christian perspective is that the book teaches those who tend to worry too much or are running around for nothing to just be. Christians can learn from this book, but with the ability to discern what contradicts Scripture and what doesn't. I find this useful as a personal guide to throw your worries to God, trust Him, and just enjoy the present moment He has given. Stop trying to save time and run after meaningless things just to be busy and just savor the time to focus on what really matters; today. In the end, Taoism is not a religion, it's a philosophy of life. Take what is useful and leave what isn't.
