5/12/2023 0 Comments The tao of pooh goodreadsI understand the idea behind the Busy Backson rant, but is there no middle ground at all? Rather than believing in the give and take of Ying and Yang (or any other name it may go under) he's against intellectuals who are secretly foolish for trying to figure anything about the world, against people who work hard and care about their jobs or contributions (again that's just foolish), people who enjoy sports or exercise.heck he's against leaving your house or caring about the rest of the world. The author is against pretty much anything useful. Then about two thirds through the book, it just becomes insulting. Those were great books with great characters, each with their own type of intelligence. Pooh as western Taoist starts off interestingly enough but halfway through it I came to the realization that it was making me want to just read the actual Milne, who was frankly probably a genius writer. Milne and juxtaposed them with the Taoist teachings of people such as Lao Tzu. The author took the stories and characters of A.A. I picked up this book because it seemed so charming.
