bruinuclafan's review against another edition
5.0
Really enjoyed listening to this. I'll need to listen again in a few years to let it sink in, but I'll never forget a few of the zingers, including:
-Timesaving devices cause us to lose time, whereas places with no timesaving devices have plenty of time.
-know yourself, know your nature, know your weakness.
Sounds generic, I know, but illustrating these points with Pooh is really effective and enjoyable.

it was nice to read at first but then the more i read it the more i thought the things they were saying were just very out of touch with reality. for example, at one point the narrator & pooh just decided to turn off the bad news of the world and focused on the nature in front of them instead, which was iffy to me. also, the latter half of the book which primarily focused on "doing nothing" wasn't very convincing. it talked about how people that "do nothing" and have less ambitious intentions stumble into the things they need -- is that not just coincidence? is that not just probability? as a believer of the Taoist religion, that part needed more explaining to me. anyway -- a nice one-sitting, relaxing read. i'd say pick and choose the advice because a lot of it was just unrealistic to implement in your life if you want to be a functioning member of society. it did make me want to relax a little and enjoy life though
