The Tao of Pooh

Product Information

You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are. It’s difficult to not enjoy something with such a charismatic ensemble and the overall thesis of this work was so compelling and unique it was difficult to put down.

We don't need to shift our responsibilities onto the shoulders of some deified Spiritual Superman, or sit around and wait for Fate to come knocking at the door.

What would it take to build a better relationship with yourself—with your own thoughts, feelings, desires, expectations, values, and beliefs?A stream flows like water, reflects like a mirror… you need to let your mind flow along and reflect what it sees.

And since he doesn’t usually put Taoist principles into practice in an everyday sort of way, his explanations of them tend to leave out some rather important details, such as how they work and where you can apply them.Knowledge and cleverness tend to concern themselves with the wrong sorts of things, and a mind confused by knowledge, cleverness, and abstract ideas tends to go chasing off after things that don’t matter, or that don’t even exist, instead of seeing, appreciating, and making use of what is right in front of it. I know this sounds kind of pathetic, but as long as we are constantly consuming material we are told is good, we will be tricked into thinking it is.
