A review by deckofkeys
The Tao of Pooh & The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff

informative lighthearted reflective relaxing slow-paced

3.0

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.
