Why read it?

1 author picked The Tao of Pooh as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I read this when I was in my early twenties, living in a loft apartment in Boston that was situated directly over a brew pub, and working a job divorced from whatever good I thought I had to offer the world.

There was very little Tao about that entire situation, but this book gave me a compass to navigate that period in my life. The narrator moves through his day interacting with characters from Winnie the Pooh, with remarkable observations tied to A.A. Milne's story. I still remember phrases and passages from this book, like "Bisy Backson."
