PING: A Frog in Search of a New Pond has become an international phenomenon, with over 400,000 copies sold and 20 foreign language editions. Now comes the long-awaited sequel, THE WAY OF PING: Journey to the Great Ocean. These two engaging parables in affordable hardcover editions inspire readers to adapt to change, take risks, and persevere in order to realize life¿s limitless possibilities. Both are invaluable books for business men and women, entrepreneurs, life coaches, teachers, students, and searchers of all ages. In this new adventure, the now legendary Ping has become the teacher. His travels take him to a pond-centered village ruled by Toad the Elder, locked into its provincial view of the villagers, except for two young frogs, Daikon and Hodo. They convince Ping to take them on a journey that will change their lives forever. This delightful story captures the fears and doubts faced by all who choose to leave the familiar to make their way in an unknown world, and teaches them to find their true path. As Ping says, ¿Years can wrinkle a frog¿s skin, but to live without purpose, well, that wrinkles the soul.¿… (más)

Ping the frog, the main character of this story reminds me of Yoda - if Yoda were a frog and spoke English correctly. I like Yoda a lot but a lot of this book's sappy New Age advice almost made me want to upchuck.

This is a sequel to a book I didn't read.

I'm not planning to find that book. This book does have some value and could be worth something to a lot of people. For instance for me, it's short and helps pad my reading list for the month. ( )

This is an easy read. It's humorous and will give you a boost, whether you're looking for one or not, though I found it so simplified that it was boring. Owl tells Ping things like, "It is not what you have learned, but what you do with it that will create your difference. You can fulfill your destiny by helping others." and "If the path you travel has no obstacles, it leads to nowhere." So, a good book for days when you need a little encouragement to keep moving forward, but not a profound read. ( )

I am very late in reviewing this Early Reviewer book, but I finally caught up with my reading while on jury duty. This book was not what I expected, for some reason I got it mixed up with that book that came out awhile back called Life of Pi and so when I requested this I thought it was a sequel to THAT book, not another one. So that being said, I have not read the first Ping book.

The story reminded me a bit of the Tao of Pooh books, only not as interesting, at least to me, maybe it's because I'm not a frog person, or maybe because the ideas in the book are ones that are not new to me, but to anyone who doesn't know anything about Eastern philosophy, it might be mildly enlightening. It is an easy read, though, which is good if you don't want to get dragged down in reading a book.

So, the book didn't really "do anything" for me personally, but it might make a nice stocking stuffer, especially for someone who is struggling with life's obstacles, as many people are these days. And it might open the way to deeper reading and understanding of the ideas presented. ( )

This book has a delightful premise - a frog on a journey motivated by his desire to be wiser in the ways of the world. A bit too "pop culture psychology" for my taste, I still found the story charming, and the froggie Ping serves to provide an old message in a new way. As with other books that have a big following, and then fall to obscurity (Celestine Prophecy? Who Moved my Cheese?) it had a role to play, and is a great read for those who don't like to read, but need the message the story imparts. ( )

I'm not really into self-help books but in this fable-like format, I really enjoyed the book. It was a quick and entertaining read but I did find the advice to be common sense. I would like to try the first book though.
