A great attempt at making Taoism accessible, and a very amusing and entertaining read at that. It felt like an effortless extension of the Winnie The Pooh series, and really helped me further understand Taoist philosophies.

I think he does a pretty good job of explaining Taoism through Pooh. Some of his analogies to describe Taoism outside of Pooh do not correlate though.

I liked it. I didn’t love it.
I learned a lot and I loved the concept.

I like Taosim but apparently I don't like Winnie the Pooh enough so it evened out to 3 stars

This book is a nice reminder of basic Taoist principles. However, with the exception of a couple of examples, I didn't find the illustration of the principles through vignettes from the Pooh storybook to be that helpful or entertaining for me personally. I also thought the denigration of scientific inquiry and knowledge obtained by scholarly study to be dangerous in our current climate, though I realize this book was originally published in a different time.
Simon Vance's narration was top notch as always. This is the first instance that I listened to an audiobook primarily because of the narrator.
