The Te of Piglet is a great ride back to Hundred Acre Wood with Benjamin Hoff diving in to the perspective of each major character. These characters being Eyeore, Rabbit, Owl and of course, Piglet.
Hoff picks apart their mindsets while comparing and contrasting each to Piglets and provides more Taoist approaches to situations and life. While I did enjoy this read, I couldn’t help but feel that the philosophies given in this book fell short from what we learned in The Tao of Pooh. The simplicities of Taoism is what makes the way of living so fascinating and implementable in almost any scenario. In short, this book felt unnecessary when compared to its predecessor. Everything covered here is covered in the Tao of Pooh, only through the perspective of a more simple minded being, rather than a Piglet.
What is interesting, however, is the perspective of the Eye-ore, Rabbit and Owl, and how these animals can change to be kinder to the Piglet.
The Te of Piglet remains to be an interesting read, most notably in its final chapters, and serves the reader a positive outlook on life in every shape and form. For even the Piglets of the world can be the greatest, most unlikely hero everyday.
