I'm going to try to keep this less side-commentary and more review. The Tao of Pooh is a delightful little taste of enlightenment sprinkled with just the right amount of wit.
In his philosophical prose, author Benjamin Hoff claims the world's most beloved bear is also the world's foremost Taoist master. How could that be? You'll have to read the short work for the answer.
I flew through my 158-page edition with relative ease. Hoff's writing style flows incredibly well, engaging the reader and informing at the same time. Though Hoff speaks through and with our favourite Hundred-Acre Wood inhabitants, he does not patronize his readers. He instructs them about a life philosophy that seems genuine and accessible in a manner that is such.
This book goes on the shelf.
