The Te Of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff

If you have heard of The Tao of Pooh you will have also heard of this book. The two together serve as companion books and to the misfortune of this book, The Tao of Pooh is a much greater book. It is not that The Te of Piglet has poor writing, it is more of a case being a product of its times.

The book focuses a bit on historical footnotes more relevant to the time of the books release and on the political climate in the US during the time period, placing the book as stuck in early 90's America. It does discuss Daoism as expected but putting a part of the political climate of the time and what is often a forgotten part of world history into a book that teaches on Daoism was not a wise move. The book requires context and one that means a history lesson. Not something I think of when I think of books explaining the beliefs within Daoism.

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff

If you're new to Daoism and trying to learn about it this is the book to go to. It is easy to understand and is written in a way accessible to everyone. If you are already knowledgable on Daoism the book will act more of a curiosity as if are already well read on Daoist texts but have not read this book it doesn't have much to offer aside from being a rather notable book.
