Product Description
Following the Seventy-fifth Anniversary Year of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2001, there will will be a year of change for The Wisdom of Pooh list in 2002. To celebrate the 20th year since the publication in the UK in 1982 of The Tao of Pooh and the 10th year since the publication in 1992 of The Te of Piglet, the cover for best selling title The Tao of Pooh & The Te of Piglet paperback bind up of these two titles will be redesigned in a new style to reach a wider market for Winnie-the-Pooh adult readers and to encourage new fans for Benjamin Hoff's best-selling titles. Pooh's Way of doing things seems strangely close to the ancient principle of Taoist philosophy, while Piglet exhibits the very important principle in Taoism of the Te, meaning Virtue of the Small. The author's explanations of Taoism and Te through Pooh and Piglet show that this is not an ancient and remote philosophy but something that you can use, here and now.

Format:Paperback
Taoism (pronounced Daoism) is an easy concept to grasp, but like all ways of thought can be a bit dry to swallow. The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet provides a much more palatable form to digest this ancient Chinese philosophy. It is even possible to see how the application of the ideas exhibited in The Tao of Pooh over the next ten years was able to influence the writing of the Te of Piglet, which is an even easier read, but provides even more depth. An outstanding two books in one cover.

This book is great, if you love fables, parables, good humour, little known truths about the state of our planet and us then you will love this. It is so unique and funny, a little sad in places, amazing teachings, a real philosophers gem. There is something in this book for everyone as most of my family and friends of various age, gender and walk of life have a copy. Highly recommended for the enlightened, unenlightened and soon to be enlightened. What more can I say.

Someone gave me this book when I was stressed, and it's great. The author has studied the Winnie the Pooh books and analysed the philosophy of the characters. Ok, it's childish, but it makes you pause over how you live your life and whether you can calm down, even if it's just a bit. There is something to be said for an era in which all kinds of curiosities can be published. Self-help, pop psychology and pseudo religion have been huge for twenty years and so why not this?
It's perhaps rather long and the points could have been made in a more economical way. It's also not so good on a second reading, but oh well, Pooh would not have minded any of that at all . . .

If only all spiritual books could be so amusing, we'd all be enlightened! I'm not even an avid Winnie the Pooh reader, so I became informed on both subjects, Pooh and Taoism. Read more

the best way to Taoism
Great! It explains Taoism from the most Taoist "perspective": simplicity. That's why it feels so true.

Simplicity Made Simple
It is perhaps ironic that the Tao, the essence of simplicity, has given rise to so many impenetrable works purporting to explain it. Read more
