Book Reviews of The Tao of Pooh
Book Review: A Fun, Clear Book on Taoism
Summary: 4 Stars
This book suits those with an interest in philosophy or Taoism in particular who also like a nice, easy read from time to time. There will always be those who dislike having such a serious subject equated with something so childlike, and yet that is what Taoism is all about--the childlike way of viewing the world, accepting reality for what it is rather than trying to force it to be what we want it to be.For those new to Taoism, it opens the door to a different way of viewing the world. To those not so new to it, it's a refreshing, fun take on the subject. This book is intended to explain the basic concepts of the philosophy. For those looking for an analytical or in-depth book on the subject, you need to look elsewhere.
Book Review: A Nice Description of Taoism Without All of the Big Words
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a really great book! I read it after I had done a school project on Taoism, so I had a slight clue as to what I was reading about, but I really wish I had found this book when I was doing the project! Its explanations of the concepts of Taoism are wonderful in that nearly everyone can understand them. Pooh and pals are very public figures and most people are familiar with their basic personality traits, so using those traits to explain Taoism was a very smart idea.Book Review: A Recommended Introduction to Taoism
Summary: 5 Stars
A great introductory book about Taoism presented in an accessible and fun way.
More enjoyable than a textbook and can be read in an afternoon.
Book Review: A cool book
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, you learn some things. Not important things, justthings that can change your life. Confused by that? Read The Tao
of Pooh and you will understand. And that's the great thing about it. It helps you understand things on a level that you could definitely (unless you are wise already, like me (har!))not normally. And another great thing (there are about 5,468)about this book is that it doesn't try to force anything on you, doesn't try to convert you to anything, etc. It't just a vault of hidden wisdom in the last place you'd expect.
Book Review: A creative introduction to the teachings of Lao Tzu
Summary: 4 Stars
Most books with the word "Tao" in their title have nothing to do with the Tao. THE TAO OF POOH actually explores the Tao and its finer points in a simple and delightful way. Hoff shows a deep understanding of ancient Taoist principles and presents them in the nurturing environment of A.A.Milne's classic WINNIE-THE-POOH. Very creative, and a fine introduction to the teachings of Lao Tzu. Of benefit to readers of all ages.
