I have come to the belief system that, to truly appreciate certain books one must have gone through certain experiences. Like for instance, one cannot truly enjoy Rumi/Gibran without having experienced some kind of pain. Maybe failure in career after hard work, betrayal by or loss of loved ones or something that makes one hit the rock bottom is necessary to appreciate the beauty of the Rumi's poetry. Similarly to be able to really appreciate "Winnie the pooh" one must be happy and peaceful in an altruistic way.

Being in a happy and relaxed mindset if one reads Winnie the Pooh, one would find that every chapter has numerous instances to laugh at and at least one, "Light bulb moment" that hits hard and makes one look at life differently.

Warning: When one is not in that easy-breezy and cosy mindset, if one happens to read "Winnie the Pooh" one might find it very boring.
