a9AdsViewNamespace.The easiest way to shoot video reviews.Without question, it's one of the best books I've read.It's not for its literary flow, academic presentation, entertaining style, or subject matter that I love this little book.The book does an outstanding job of presenting and explaining the basic tenets of Taoism.If you'd like a quick dissertation of different philosophical views and personality styles, The Tao of Pooh does so through the showcasing of Pooh and his friends.Hoff penned this book so well it stirred my desires to read once again Milne's classic title The Adventures of Pooh with a new light and perception.This is an excellent title to add to your permanent library, whether you embrace Taoism or not.Can't recommend this one highly enough.Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24 hours."Oh, so that's what it's all about!In other words, put the round peg in the round hole, the square peg in the square one.The characters who make up Pooh's friends demonstrate the flaw of knowledge and cleverness, and I was fascinated and sobered by this because their personalities reflect me, and I realize the bad side in knowing too much.Rabbit is described as someone who gains Knowledge for the sake of appearing Clever, and I had to wince, because to my shame, I fully admit that's also me to some extent.And Eeyore is someone who gains Knowledge for the sake of Complaining.Given my political stance, yes, me too again.Maybe that's my problem too.But Pooh, the lucky bear, may not have much of a brain, but he embodies the Simplicity of the Uncarved Block, the Taoist equivalent of John Locke's tabula rasa (blank slate).Basically, Pooh can't describe the Uncarved Block, he just IS it.That's the nature of the Uncarved Block.American equivalent of a French sidewalk cafe or Chinese teahouse.Relax and enjoy yourself.Was this review helpful to you?It's all so simple when you reduce it to the level of Pooh.It's often hard to understand the nuances of religions and philosophies other than one's own.But understanding a people's system of faith is vital to understanding the people.In the case of the Eastern philosophy known as Taoism, Winnie the Pooh is here to help.Some of the examples are original to author Benjamin Hoff's book, while others are lifted directly from the original text by A.Taoist way so perfectly.Hoff handily explains why they do not fit the Taoist mold, and how Pooh would have handled similar situations.As he explains on the back cover of the book, "While Eeyore frets, and Piglet hesitates, and Rabbit calculates, and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is."At the same time, Hoff avoids diminishing his message by dumbing it down.Was this review helpful to you?See all 208 customer reviews...Very peaceful, entertaining, and it kept me reading until the end.Suprisingly Good Book
