Pooh:Tao philosophies in
the book help simplify life
Continued from page 7
Through this book, originally pub
lished in 1982, the reader begins to
understand many things, including life
and howto un-complicate it, why
Pooh was the true hero of the stories
and perhaps most importantly, you
begin to understand yourself. At least
that's what happened to me when I
first read it seven years ago. I have
since read it every time I feel lost sad,
angry or helpless (simply put, I've
read it too many times to remember).
This is the book that first introduced
me to Taoism and has gotten me
through a lot of stressful times.
The simplicity of this book was
first what drew me in. The text is
large, which makes reading it a
breeze (you could easily read this
book in a day if you had the time). The
way Hoff explains things is also in
credibly simple for anyone to under
stand, and finding the Tao through
the lovable Winnie-the-Pooh makes
it all the more enjoyable.
Another great aspect of this book is
that Hoff discusses the characteristics
of the other animals found in the Hun
dred Acre Wood and explains why they
were neverthe hero of the classic
tales. Hoff details why the reader
should strive to not be a Hesitant Piglet
(so timid he can't see his own
strengths) orthe "Bisy Backson" Rab
bit ("Let's put it this way: If you want to
be healthy, relaxed, and contented, just
watch what a Bisy Backson does and
then do the opposite. There's one now,
pacing back and forth, jingling the
loose coins in his pocket, nervously
glancing at his watch. He makes you
feel tired just looking at him"). There's
also the Grumpy Eeyore ("As anyone
who doesn't have it can see, the Eey
ore Attitude gets in the way of things
like wisdom and happiness, and pretty
much prevents any sort of real Accom
plishment in life") and the Scholarly
Owl (those who use their knowledge to
make others feel worthless or stupid,
ratherthan "working for the enlighten
ment of others") as well as the Bouncy
Tigger (those who think they can do
everything and, of course, they can do
it better than you) that no one really
wants to be like.
Hoff asks "Do you wantto be really
happy? You can begin by being appre
ciative of who you are and what
you've got." Reading this amazing
book is also a good step in that direc
tion. You won't regret it.
