Second time reading this, and I'm inclined to agree with some of the other reviews: The Tao of Pooh is great, but the Te of Piglet is quite outdated at this point. Still enjoyable!

There was a lot to like! Very calming and some great bits about living well. But then there would be random instances of transphobia or unhealthy advice about medicine and doctors. And the author isn’t the greatest example of a Taoist. A bit if personal digging shows he doesn’t even follow the tenants he’s fetishising here. Which I think is an important word. Like any philosophical text, the author assumes that their chosen philosophy is the absolute best and only one that should exist ever and has all the answers. They fetishise the whole affair and just end up looking stupid.

Tao of Pooh was a delight to read from start to finish.
Te of Piglet however, though there were highlights here and there, felt incredibly disjointed and rambling (e.g. a stream of personal and political views detracting from the exploration of Taoism).

I found the writing condescending at times and took away from the Winnie-the-Pooh enjoyment. I'd rather read the Winnie-the-Pooh books and take away the wholesomeness from the stories directly.
