About this book

The how of Pooh? The Tao of who? The Tao of Pooh!?! Yes, Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain Way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear. In these pages Benjamin Hoff shows that Pooh's Way is amazingly consistent with the principles of living envisioned long ago by the Chinese founders of Taoism. The author's explanation of Taoism is through Pooh, and Pooh through Taoism, shows that this is not simply an ancient and remote philosophy but something you can use, here and now. And what is Taoism? It's really very simple. It calls for living without preconceived ideas about how life should be lived--but it's not a preconception of how life--It's... Well, you'd do better to read this book, and listen to Pooh, if you really want to find out. --front flap
