The Te of Piglet | 
panNineties attitudes are alive and well and appropriating my childhood! I would not recommend this to anyone, for any reason. If you were looking for a quick, coherent guide into the tenets of Taoism, this ain't it. If you were looking for a pop psychology/self help type book cogently examining the philosophical or spiritual traits of dear Piglet, this ain't it. 1/?
First section I actually said out loud "oh, I'm not gonna like this..." Second section: "I was right!". YIKES.
Yes, it was published in the 90s. No, I can't find evidence of a revised edition that would correct some of the more egregious choices encountered so far. ?
Riiight, 'cause no one in the West has ever practiced arranged marriage (pretty common all over depending on the historical period, as far as I know), polygamy (isn't that a Mormon thing? I prefer polyamory) or body modification in adherence to beauty standards (also still a thing). 🙄 How about we skip the borderline racist trash-talking of Confucianists and get back to the intro to Taoism, yes? 🙎🏼♂️
I don't what this book actually is yet, but so far I'm really enjoying myself. ☺️
@Stacy_31 I received your #makerswap box today! And I love every inch of it, (I will be posting another picture) I have wanted the Tao of Pooh for a long time and to get The Te of Piglet as well is just amazing! I can‘t wait to put together the Terrarium I have been wanting to get one so this is perfect timing. And now I can give knitting a try! I love it all!

Another mini jewelry box gift for my Mom; picked up at the Sutton bookshop. 🐝💛
Found at Sutton's Turn The Page bookshop. 🤗 I picked it up for my spring TBRs. 🐷🐝
When your required reading isn't enough for the semester so you pull out the books your courses make you think of 😂😭😳
pickFinished my first book of 2017! Although I liked The Tao of Pooh better, this was still an enjoyable read. The two books together have inspired me to learn more about Taoism.
Don't get me started on the steaming pile that is the Eeyore Effect chapter. Definitely some toxic positivity added to the mix. 9mo
I'll have to track down some of the actual Winnie the Pooh books to give my brain a good rinse. 9mo
