The Tao of Pooh

Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Review: This is a good book to read if are you are interested in Taoism, even if only vaguely. It's very simple and easy to read, and gives you a good start on Taoism, by using the analogy with A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh". If you are interested in the philosophy of Taoism I recommend this to be the first book you read.

Summary: Very deep yet simple explanation of Taoism.
Review: It was really interesting how he intertwined the personalities of the Pooh Bear characters with the basic principal of Taoism.

Rating:
Summary: Idealistic fluff
Review: I found the book to be very entertaining at the start, but it got old and it isn't even a very big book. Muddled thinking leads to muddled conclusions. For example: Hoff praises the simple mindedness of Pooh and uses an illustration of someone who is rational and purposeful getting into a car wreck because he is that way, when my experience has been that simpleminded Pooh-type people cause most car wrecks. I wouln't buy it. Check it out from your library first.

Review: I am an 18 year old reader and when I first started reading this book I found it to be really interesting, because I study and teach Kung Fu. I really love this book.

Review: After reading this book, I now look at life in a different light. It's amazing how you put everything into perspective and how your prioritize things after this novel. Although it only skims the true essense of taoism, it provides enough insight for the average reader to make a difference. Although I am only a senior in high school, this book have inspired me to change my lifestyle.
