  • The Tao of Pooh

    Elaine H. - 5 years 1 month ago

    I keep giving this book to someone who needs it and then I have to replace it. It has gotten me through hard times!

  • Elucidating

    Fay P. - 5 years 3 months ago

    An easily readable elucidating book. Along with The Tau of Pooh, it is an excellent introduction to a philosophy we can all use.

  • A gift that will keep on giving

    Trish O. - 5 years 11 months ago

    Bought this little book in the early 1990s, shortly after it was first published. I truly love Pooh and at the time was on a path to learn more about other religious beliefs. And this one perfect--in its simplicity (like Pooh) and it endearing dialogue among all the characters of Pooh Corner. I'm not giving a copy to my granddaughter who wants to journal during this period of isolation--as a way of relieving some stress. Rather than the traditional (the bible, the torah) I think this book is just what will engage her and help her broaden her understanding.

  • A refresing, amusing introduction into Taoism using Winnie The Pooh characters

    Caroline R. - 6 years 5 months ago

    I never thought I would read a book about Taoism or anything related to the topic but this book was recommended to me by a friend and it's become the book I want to be buried next to. Taoism concepts are explained through Benjamin Hoff (the author) interacting with different characters from Winnie the Pooh. It sounds elementary, but I became very quickly engaged and learned about a completely new religion. The religion is relaxing and honestly I consider this book Self-Help at times. This book is extremely well written, has a very light-hearted, humorous tone to it and I found myself writing down quotes and passages to reflect on later. There's much more I could say, but it's a super quick and fun read! So go for it!

  • Taoist teachings from the Hundred Acre Wood.

    Mckenzie P. - 7 years 4 months ago

    The Tao of Pooh is a book that I first picked up on a whim, but now has become an integral part of my literary collection. It's common knowledge that Taoism is not the easiest of philosophies; not that any philosophy is easy to understand. Benjamin Hoff acknowledges this fact and approaches the topic from a perspective that many of us find simple, entertaining and downright lovable -- Winnie the Pooh. In his book, Benjamin Hoff not only uses the stories from the Hundred Acre Woods as lessons, but interacts with the characters themselves as he writes about Taoism. He pairs the groups quirky antics with traditional parables to broach difficult topics with ease and simplicity. This allows for a light and fun teaching of The Way that is pleasantly reminiscent. If you want to learn how Pooh is actually a Taoist master, then you should definitely give this book a read!
