Journal Entry 1 by Wildflower67 on Sunday, June 22, 2003

Back cover:
The how of Pooh? The Tao of who? The Tao of Pooh!...in which it is revealed that one of the world's great Taoist masters isn't Chinese...or a venerable philosopher...but is in fact none other than that effortlessly calm, still, reflective bear, A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh!

While Eeyore frets...
...and Piglet hesitates
...and Rabbit calculates
...and Owl pontificates
...Pooh just is.

And that's a clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists.

What a marvelous little gem of a book this is!
It is a quick and fun read, filled with the ways of joy and wisdom.

Journal Entry 5 by Amostrinha on Monday, October 20, 2003

I read this book at the same time as "The road less travelled" by M. Scott Peck. It turned out to be a great mix, they complement each other. I picked a quotation that best defines the greatest lesson I learned from the reading:
"Within each of us there is an Owl, a Rabbit, an Eeyore, and a Pooh. For too long we have chosen the way of Owl and Rabbit. Now, like Eeyore, we complain about the results. But that accomplishes nothing. If we are smart, we will choose the way of Pooh. As if from far away, it calls to us with the voice of a child's mind. It may be hard to hear at times, but it is important just the same, because without, we will never find our way through the Forest."

Journal Entry 7 by Kernow8 from Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom on Saturday, March 13, 2004

Arrived in the mail during the last week while I was away skiing. Can't wait to read it - Thanks! 

Journal Entry 8 by Kernow8 from Southampton, Hampshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, April 21, 2004

A great little introduction to Taoism. It provoked a lot of discussion between my husband and me about our tendencies - he is a Rabbit/Eeyore mix and I have less Eeyore but more Owl. We both agreed we need to develop our Pooh side. It's fun looking out for Bisy Backsons now too (yes there are people we think are even more Rabbity than us!)

I really enjoyed the Chinese tales sprinkled through the book as well. Thanks Wildflower67! Now on its way to thescreaming. 

Journal Entry 9 by thescreaming from Cumberland, Maryland USA on Friday, April 23, 2004

This came in the mail right before I left for work this afternoon. I have a book to finish, then a small bookring book to read before I get to this one. Can't wait to read it. 

Journal Entry 10 by thescreaming from Cumberland, Maryland USA on Saturday, May 01, 2004

What a wonderful little book. I'll never look at Winnie the Pooh the same way again.

edit 05/09/04-I have not heard from readinme for a week, will PM the person after that.

edit 05/19/04-Just heard from certainlily, who has had minimal internet access while in Europe. She'll be home soon, so I will get the book out this week. 

Journal Entry 11 by certainlily from Somerville, Massachusetts USA on Saturday, June 05, 2004

Got home from Europe a few days ago to find this sitting in my pile of mail. I'll get to reading it asap! 

Journal Entry 12 by certainlily from Somerville, Massachusetts USA on Wednesday, July 14, 2004

Sorry it took me so long to get this book out. There was some misscommunication and it took me a while to read the book. I enjoyed reading the book but I really didn't get into it. I sent it off the Texaswaren this afternoon. 

Journal Entry 13 by TexasWren from Hillsboro, Texas USA on Tuesday, July 20, 2004

I received the book today. I will read it quickly and pass it on. I've read about a third of it today. I love Pooh. He sees things so clearly!! 

Journal Entry 14 by TexasWren from Hillsboro, Texas USA on Sunday, August 15, 2004

I pm'ed fruitbat on the 9th, but I haven't heard anything. I will try again tonight. 

Journal Entry 15 by TexasWren from Hillsboro, Texas USA on Tuesday, August 31, 2004

I never heard from fruitbat, and booknhand found it elsewhere, so Pooh is on his way home.

I really liked this book, but I have to say that I didn't finish it. I found myself going back and re-reading, until I had had it so long, I was ashamed. This is one of those books that I need to own. Then, we something comes up that reminds me of something in the book, I have it handy to go back and look it up. Next trip to the USB, I will look for a copy for my PC.

Thank you for introducing me to this little jewel. I enjoyed it a lot.
