I could fish out some philosophical concepts but overall I’m a little short on the understanding.

Instead what we have is an author who seems to try and force Taoist philosophy into Winnie the Pooh. While there is certainly some material which matches the philosophy there are three problems as far as I am concerned.
The first is that that author really seems to hate every other character in the original Winnie the Pooh who isn't Pooh. This is not strictly true as Piglet gets a bit of a pass but then you find out the author also wrote a book about Piglet. Every other character is portrayed as being seriously flawed.
The second problem is that the author doesn't explain how the world would work if everyone followed the philosophy. For example, who would actually collect the honey if we all decided that this was too much work? How could we listen to Beethoven's 9th if he had read this book and instead of studying music he had decided to wander around the woods all day?
Finally, the actual quotes from original Taoist philosophers are way more interesting than the author's attempt to crowbar in his theories into Pooh tales. This just shows up how forced the book is. On the other hand, it may actually make readers want to seek out more Taoist philosophy so could be seen as working.
As I said, it may have had a more beneficial impact on me if I had read it when it first came out as there is some ideas on mindfulness in the book but these ideas are now much more widespread.
In my opinion, save your money and buy an introductory book on Taoist philosophy, one on mindfulness and, if you want, the original Pooh books.
We HUGELY overcomplicate things in life, looking down on 'the simple' because we deem ourselves to be 'too busy/intelligent/important'.
However, it is impossible for us little humans to ever entirely understand the Universe, time and the way of life, so why not take on the Way of Pooh instead? It seems to work for him! :P
I couldn't help a constant smile lightning my face whenever I read this book this book, and I challenge anyone not to do the same! Please stop angrily racing around office floors late into the night, fuelled by crazy caffeine - read it!
(I also say this considering I feel ashamed that a thoughtlessly placed lamp burnt a hole in my old Pooh Bear teddy's back many Christmas' ago, because I was too consumed with greedily opening my new toys rather to care for his wellbeing... Therefore this is my way of saying sorry - please forgive me Pooh! :P)
