"Aspects of Taoism told through the characters of Winnie the Pooh – I mean, does it get better? This is a speed read that you can easily whip through in a day, but trust me when I say that you will revisit it time and time again for its refreshing perspective on how to move in the world."

Basically, a (very quick) overview of various branches of Philosophy, lightly touching on - amongst others - some of the following schools of thought:

What is Philosophy, and why we should care?
Aristotle
Buddhism
Confucius
Descartes (Cogito, Ergo Sum)
Stoicism
Taoism

And I've probably missed a few.

While it does it's job in admirably presenting these schools of thoughts and their various proponents, this was (perhaps necessarily) too shallow a read/listen for me. I'm fully aware, however, that that is because I have a scholastic background in studying the same!

Taking my own prejudices out of the equation: a worth-while attempt to bring the subject matter to the masses.
