Customer Reviews

Te of Piglet was a warm read

I love this second Edition to the series. The way the Author in both book talks to the Characters and have them involved and explaining what they meant or an example with a story. I can hear them in my head like they are really there with me.

Loved Piglet, but Pooh was bette

This book wasn't bad, I just liked Pooh's better. Hopefully they won't make a "Depression of Eeyore" lol.

Piglet strikes back

Hoff manages to unravel the core of the Tao and the Te using images we all know and love. He makes Taoism accessible and recognizable. These are well written, easily read and re-read. Using these images to illustrate a philosophy that can be very elusive is a master stroke.

take the time to read this one too!

Another great book by Benjamin Hoff and a perfect accompaniment to the Tao of Pooh, his first book of these 2. Like the other, I continually buy this book just to find myself gifting it away and then buying another copy for myself so that I can continue to re-read it. Always an inspiration.

Love It!

Just finished reading "The Tao of Pooh" and am halfway through this one. As a lover of the Winnie the Pooh books (and children's stories in general) and a more simple, happy way of life, I am thoroughly enjoying this book and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a little help in trying to live life differently, more simply, more easily and, by default, more happily!

Great Read

I read the Toah of Pooh years ago so I powered thru this, I am always interested in the outlooks of other spritualities. 5 stars!!!!
