I don’t quite know how to review something like this. I have little to no philosophical knowledge and have never looked into Taoism itself so from that perspective I found this to be an accessible and engaging introduction to this philosophy.

The book seemed charming enough at first with all its illustrations and the idea of Winnie the Pooh and Taoism together seemed interesting. But that's all there is to the book. It's gimmicky and tells us nothing new. It was hard for me to realize that the best parts of this book were the quotes/extracts from other works.

Anything that the author himself writes is mediocre at best. What's with all the science bashing? Knowledge is unnecessary? I'm pretty sure that's not what Taoism implies. I'll have to find out for myself. Even if it does, this book still reads like a high schooler's essay.

Personality types, Philosophy and behaviors through the stories of Winnie the Pooh and the hundred Acre Woods.
Simple mind
Learn more about philosophy an Taoism.
Everything has its own place and function. Applies to people as well. Respect your inner nature. Embrace you and what makes you you.
You can't save time. You can only spend it; wisely or foolishly.
The wise know their limits, the foolish do not.
Eeyore frets, Piglet hesitates, Rabbit calculates, Owl pontificates, Pooh just is.
